Yogurt Sundae Recipe with Strawberries

You'll love this yogurt sundae recipe, made with creamy vanilla yogurt, fresh sliced strawberries, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry!

Everyone likes to take a break now and then.  It could be mid-morning, after the first errands of the day are done.  It could be late evening, after dinner has been cleared away and the house is relatively quiet.

At those times, I often feel like having something sweet.  Something that's just indulgent enough to feel like I've had a real treat without having had too much.

In the spirit of experimentation that animates my blog, I decided to make a yogurt sundae instead of an ice cream sundae.  I picked a really good vanilla yogurt, lined a gold-rimmed coupe with fresh strawberries, spooned in the yogurt, then topped it with chocolate sauce and a cherry on top.

This is a great way to feel like you're getting away with something, when in fact you're having something pretty healthy.  Choose a Greek yogurt for extra protein, if you like, and throw on a few toasted nuts for good measure.

I think it's important to make a treat like this a bit of an occasion, even if you're only having it by yourself.  Maybe it's even more important if you're by yourself!  Treat yourself right with a lovely cup or bowl and an elegant spoon if you have one on hand.  Make it special.  You deserve it!
