Grapes with Yogurt Sauce

This is a 10-minute dessert that looks like you spent way longer on it. A ripe banana pureed with whole milk yogurt, a touch of sugar, and a dash of rum creates a creamy sauce that pools in the bottom of wine glasses with halved red grapes piled on top.

The banana does double duty as both sweetener and thickener. Pureed smooth with yogurt, it creates something like a light mousse without any cream or gelatin. Use a ripe banana with brown spots for the sweetest, smoothest blend.

The rum is just a dash, enough to add a warm, aromatic note without making this boozy. It rounds out the banana-yogurt combination beautifully.

Serving in wine glasses makes this feel special. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for color or chopped pistachios for crunch.

Kitchen Tips

• Use the ripest banana you can find for the smoothest, sweetest puree
• Chill the glasses beforehand for an extra-refreshing presentation
• Halve the grapes so they sit neatly on the sauce and are easier to eat with a spoon

Variations

• Use green grapes or a mix of red and green for a more colorful presentation
• Swap rum for vanilla extract for an alcohol-free version
• Layer in fresh berries alongside the grapes for a mixed fruit parfait
