Print Recipe

A gentle, sweet strawberry dessert designed to minimize acidity and soothe heartburn, featuring fresh strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and a pinch of baking soda.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened
  • 2 tablespoons mild honey (such as clover honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour (optional)
  • A few fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)
  • A pinch (about 1/8 teaspoon) baking soda

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 cups of fresh strawberries under cold water. Hull and slice them into thin pieces (about 1/4 inch thick). Set aside in a medium bowl.
  2. Sprinkle a pinch (about 1/8 teaspoon) of baking soda over the sliced strawberries. Gently toss to coat evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the strawberries into the yogurt mixture, being careful not to mash the berries.
  5. If using, sprinkle almond flour on top or fold it in. Add chopped fresh mint leaves for garnish.
  6. Transfer the dessert into serving bowls or glasses and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not skip the baking soda as it neutralizes strawberry acidity. Gently fold ingredients to keep berry texture intact. Use ripe but firm strawberries for best results. Chill dessert for at least 10 minutes before serving. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; stir gently before serving again.
