This is my new favorite summer dessert. And it is a recipe that is equally great with in-season strawberries and also with berries that could use a little boost.

Deceptively simple, it’s a wonderful natural treat that both kids and adults will enjoy! The sweet and tart flavors all meld together in this creamy concoction. Dig in with a spoon and/or drink with a straw.

You’ll need:

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 1/2 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1/4 cup raw sugar
• 1 T lemon juice + a little finely grated zest
• skim milk, to serve

1. Freeze yogurt in ice cube tray for about 3-4 hours (depending on your freezer) until solid.

2. Combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and zest in a sauce pan. Heat and barely cook for a few minutes until the strawberries have just softened. Blend into a puree or ‘smoosh’ until pretty smooth. Cool.

3. To serve, layer a few generous spoonfuls of the strawberries in a tall glass with 3-4 yogurt ‘cubes’ and top with milk.
