Galaxy Spiral dark berry swirl (Printable)

Creamy yogurt swirled with dark berry jam, topped with sesame seeds and tangy goat cheese spheres.

# 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 tbsp white sesame seeds
05 - 1–2 tbsp honey (optional, for serving)

# How-To Steps:

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 texture and visual interest.
05 - Drizzle with honey if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the visual effect before gently stirring to eat.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes and tastes like you spent hours planning something beautiful.
  • The tanginess of goat cheese against sweet jam hits different than you'd expect—it's sophisticated without trying.
  • There's something deeply satisfying about a dessert you can eat with a spoon while standing in your kitchen at midnight.
02 -
  • Don't mix it all together before serving—the beauty is in the moment before the first spoonful, when it still looks like something you should frame instead of eat.
  • Cold ingredients make all the difference; even five minutes in the freezer transforms how the dish feels on your tongue.
03 -
  • Chill everything beforehand—bowls, yogurt, cheese—so the textures stay distinct and the presentation holds until you're ready to eat.
  • If goat cheese is too firm to form into balls, let it sit at room temperature for just a few minutes; it softens enough to be workable without becoming mushy.
