Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% recommended)
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 23 tablespoons honey or sweetener of choice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • For Classic Vanilla Berry Bliss: 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen), 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • For Chocolate Peanut Butter Dream: 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
  • For Lemon Blueberry Sunshine: Zest of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen), 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
  • For Apple Cinnamon Comfort: 1 small apple (finely diced, about 1/2 cup), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
  • For Mango Coconut Tropical: 1/2 cup diced mango (fresh or frozen, thawed), 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, 1 tablespoon coconut flakes, 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease 4 (6-ounce) ramekins or an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, sweetener, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until completely smooth and uniform, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Fold in your chosen flavor-specific ingredients gently with a spatula. Do not overmix.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full. Place ramekins on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 22-25 minutes for individual ramekins (or 30-35 minutes for a single large dish) until edges are set and lightly golden, but the center still has a slight jiggle when shaken.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes. The texture will firm up as it cools.
  7. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Top with extra fruit, honey, or toppings as desired.

Notes

Don’t overbake! The center should still have a gentle wobble when removed; it will continue to set as it cools. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. For extra creamy results, use a water bath by placing ramekins in a larger dish with hot water halfway up the sides. Let cool completely before refrigerating for meal prep.
