Ingredients

Scale

Base

2 cups Greek yogurt
4 large eggs
1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Fruit

1 1/2 cups berries (divided)

Instructions

Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous. Next, add the cornstarch to the bowl and whisk again until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
Add berries and transfer: Fold in 1 cup of the berries gently, just enough to distribute them without breaking them apart. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of berries over the top to add visual appeal and bursts of fruit flavor.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. The baked yogurt is done when the center is set and no longer jiggly to the touch, resembling a firm custard.
Cool and serve: Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool almost completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cut into 9 equal slices. Serve as is or drizzle with extra maple syrup for added sweetness.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture.
Maple syrup can be substituted with honey for a different natural sweetness.
When folding in berries, be gentle to avoid crushing them and turning the batter purple.
Cooking times may vary slightly depending on oven variations; check for a set center.
This dessert can be served warm or chilled according to preference.
