A Homemade Dessert in 5 Minutes That I Never Get Tired Of

There are desserts, and then there are instant, crave-worthy desserts that feel indulgent yet take almost no time to make. This is one of those gems — a dessert you can whip up in just five minutes using ingredients you likely already have at home. The best part? It’s endlessly customizable, yet so comforting that I never, ever get tired of it. Let me walk you through how to make it step by step.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For this simple, creamy dessert, you’ll need:

1 cup of Greek yogurt or plain yogurt – thick yogurt works best for a creamy texture.
1–2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup – adjust for your desired sweetness.
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract – optional, but adds a lovely aroma.
Fresh fruits or berries – strawberries, blueberries, bananas, or whatever is in season.
A small handful of granola or nuts – for crunch.
Optional extras: a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a few chocolate chips, or a dash of cinnamon for a flavor twist.

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Start with a bowl and spoon in 1 cup of yogurt. If you like it slightly sweeter, mix in 1–2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the sweetness is evenly distributed. This creamy base is the foundation of your dessert and takes under a minute.
