Galaxy Spiral Dark Berry (Print)

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

# Components:

→ Dairy

01 - 14 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 tbsp white sesame seeds
05 - 1 to 2 tbsp honey (optional, for serving)

# Directions:

01 - Divide the Greek yogurt evenly among four shallow serving bowls, smoothing the tops.
02 - Gently 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. Distribute these stars evenly across the swirled surface.
04 - Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the dish to add more stars and a light crunch.
05 - Drizzle with honey if desired. Serve immediately, enjoying the visual effect before gently stirring to eat.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but feels light enough to eat after dinner without that heavy, guilty feeling.
  • The whole thing comes together in 10 minutes, no cooking, no stress, just assembly and beauty.
  • It's genuinely impressive to look at—people always pause before eating because it's too pretty to disturb.
02 -
  • The moment you swirl jam into yogurt, it starts to blend slightly—serve within minutes if you want the visual drama to stay sharp.
  • Goat cheese straight from the fridge rolls smoothly; room-temperature cheese becomes sticky and refuses to cooperate.
03 -
  • A squeeze bottle or piping bag makes perfect, Instagram-worthy spirals, but honestly, a spoon in the hands of someone who doesn't overthink it looks just as good.
  • Taste your yogurt before serving—some brands are tangier than others, and this affects whether you need the honey.
