Instructions
- Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup mixed berries, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp sugar. Simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries break down and mixture becomes thick and glossy.
- Step 2: Remove from heat, then stir in 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp cold water until the compote thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 1 minute). Let cool completely.
- Step 3: Whisk 2 tbsp lemon juice and 2 tbsp sugar in a small bowl until dissolved and clear, creating a glossy glaze.
- Step 4: Layer 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup cooled berry compote, and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt in a glass. Repeat two more times. Drizzle 1 tbsp glaze over the top and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped mint leaves.
