Galaxy Spiral Dark Berry (Print)

Creamy yogurt swirled with dark berry jam, topped with goat cheese and sesame seeds for a cosmic touch.

# What you'll need:

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

# Directions:

01 - Distribute the Greek yogurt evenly among four shallow serving bowls, smoothing the surface of each.
02 - Drizzle or spoon the dark berry jam gently over the yogurt in a spiral or swirl pattern.
03 - Shape the chilled goat cheese into small marble-sized balls using fingers or a melon baller, then arrange them evenly atop the jam swirl.
04 - Sprinkle white sesame seeds across the surface to mimic stars and add light crunch.
05 - Optionally drizzle honey over the dish. Serve immediately, encouraging appreciation of visual effect before gently stirring to eat.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes but looks like you spent hours in the kitchen.
  • No cooking required means you can make it on the hottest days without heating up your kitchen.
  • The contrast of creamy, tangy, and slightly tart hits all the cravings at once.
02 -
  • If your goat cheese is warm or room temperature, it won't hold its shape—chill it for at least thirty minutes, or you'll end up with goat cheese soup.
  • The jam and yogurt will start mingling the moment they touch, so work quickly and serve within a few minutes if visual impact matters to you.
03 -
  • If you want to make this ahead, assemble everything except the sesame seeds, cover it loosely, and add the seeds right before serving so they stay crispy.
  • A squeeze bottle makes drawing the jam spiral feel almost meditative—it's worth finding one if precision matters to you.
