A quick and delicious Greek yogurt bowl combining creamy yogurt, ripe banana, crunchy Valentine’s cookies, and rich dark chocolate for a comforting and indulgent treat perfect for Valentine’s Day or any time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
  • 2 small Valentine’s cookies, crumbled (buttery shortbread or soft sugar cookies)
  • 1 oz (28 g) dark chocolate, roughly chopped (70% cocoa recommended)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) chia seeds (optional)
  • A handful of fresh berries (optional, e.g., strawberries or raspberries)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, scoop 1 cup (240 ml) of Greek yogurt. Add ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) of vanilla extract and, if desired, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey or maple syrup. Stir gently until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Avoid overmixing.
  2. Peel and slice a medium ripe banana into thin rounds about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick, about 1 minute.
  3. Using a small, sharp knife, roughly chop 1 ounce (28 g) of dark chocolate into bite-sized chunks, about 2 minutes.
  4. Spoon the vanilla-yogurt mixture into a serving bowl. Layer the banana slices evenly on top. Sprinkle the crumbled Valentine’s cookies over the banana layer. Add the chopped dark chocolate on top. If using, scatter fresh berries and chia seeds over the top. Assembly takes about 3 minutes.
  5. Drizzle a little more honey or maple syrup if desired. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Best eaten the same day to keep cookies crunchy.

Notes

Do not overmix the yogurt to maintain a thick, creamy texture. Add cookies just before serving to keep them crunchy. Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness. Substitute dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup to make vegan-friendly. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 24 hours but expect cookies to soften.
