Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm
- 1 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons stevia or erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ cup chopped almonds or walnuts (optional but recommended)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the peaches. Using a sharp knife, cut around the peach to separate the halves, then twist to separate. Remove the pit. Slice each half into thin wedges. Peel if desired.
- In a medium bowl, combine peach slices, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat and let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, stevia (or erythritol), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness if needed.
- Layer half of the peach mixture into serving bowls or glasses. Spoon half the yogurt mixture over the peaches. Repeat layers, finishing with a dollop of yogurt on top.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts and chia seeds over each serving.
- Serve immediately or chill for 15-20 minutes to let flavors meld and yogurt firm up slightly.
Notes
Use fresh peaches for best texture; frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For dairy-free, substitute coconut yogurt. Nuts can be replaced with seeds for allergies. Add crunchy toppings just before serving to keep them crisp. Avoid freezing as texture may suffer.
