Galaxy Spiral Dark Berry Yogurt (Printable View)

Creamy yogurt topped with dark berry jam, goat cheese stars, and sesame seeds for an elegant finish.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 14.1 oz plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
02 - 2.8 oz soft white goat cheese, chilled

→ Jam

03 - 3.5 oz dark berry jam (blackberry, blueberry, or blackcurrant)

→ Garnish

04 - 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
05 - 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for serving)

# How To Make It:

01 - Divide the Greek yogurt evenly among four shallow serving bowls, smoothing the tops.
02 - Drizzle or spoon the dark berry jam over the yogurt in a spiral or swirl pattern.
03 - Using your fingers or a small melon baller, break or roll the goat cheese into small, marble-sized balls and distribute evenly across the swirled surface.
04 - Scatter the white sesame seeds over the dessert to add texture and visual interest.
05 - Drizzle honey over the top if desired. Serve immediately, enjoying the visual effect before gently stirring to eat.

# Best Practices:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes but looks like you spent an hour perfecting something restaurant-worthy.
  • The contrast of creamy yogurt, tart goat cheese, and sweet jam hits every taste bud without feeling heavy.
  • No heat, no stress—just assembly, which means you can make it even when you're exhausted.
02 -
  • The goat cheese must be cold or it'll smear instead of forming into those satisfying little balls, so don't skip chilling it beforehand.
  • Serve this immediately after assembly so the textures stay distinct; if it sits too long, the jam starts bleeding into the yogurt and you lose that striking visual.
03 -
  • A squeeze bottle or piping bag transforms the jam-swirling step from uncertain to precise—if presentation matters to you, this small tool is worth the space in your drawer.
  • Don't overthink the goat cheese balls; imperfect ones actually look more natural and beautiful than perfectly uniform ones, like real stars in the sky.
