Recipe Summer Fruit Salad with Yogurt
Create a delicious summer fruit salad with apricots, syrupy peaches, soft pears, dried plums, and apples, seasoned with sugar, lemon juice, and yogurt. Serve it with a fluffy meringue cream. A light and refreshing dessert enhanced with toasted hazelnuts or almonds.
Instructions
- Start by washing and drying all the fresh fruit. Dice the apricots, ripe pears, and apple into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking and a pleasant mouthfeel.
- Drain the canned peaches from their syrup and dice them as well.
- Pit the dried plums if necessary and cut them into pieces.
- Place all the cut fruit in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the fruit with granulated sugar, then drizzle the fresh lemon juice over it to prevent the fruit from browning and to add a touch of freshness.
- Gently toss the ingredients in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to blend perfectly.
- Meanwhile, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form using an electric whisk or a stand mixer.
- Gradually add the icing sugar to the beaten egg white, continuing to beat until a glossy and stiff meringue is obtained.
- Gently fold the yogurt into the meringue using a spatula, with movements from bottom to top to avoid deflating the mixture.
- Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and pour the yogurt and meringue mixture over the fruit, spreading it evenly on the surface of the fruit salad.
Notes
To add a special touch to your Yogurt Fruit Salad, you can enrich it with a handful of toasted hazelnut or almond crumbs before serving. This will add crispiness to the dessert and enhance the flavor of the fruit.
