I make no apology for using frozen raspberries in the oatmeal yogurt swirls. At this time of year, what really is the option? Besides, I love these breakfast sundaes best when the berries are still frozen and tasting like a tart sorbet against the smooth creaminess of the yogurt and the sweet crunch of the cookie crumbs.

I often find it easier to make these, too, the night before. The raspberries thaw and the yogurt stiffens somewhat, and yes, the cookie crumbs in the middle lose their crunch, but everything melds together gloriously. A last-minute sprinkling of cookie crumbs on top is all they need.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Set aside six glasses, each with ¾-cup capacity. In a food processor or blender, combine frozen berries and sugar, and purée for 2 to 3 minutes to make a smooth thick sauce.

  2. Step 2

    Spoon about 2 teaspoons raspberry purée into each glass, and top with about 2 tablespoons yogurt. Sprinkle with a layer of cookie crumbs. Make another layer of 2 tablespoons yogurt and top with 2 teaspoons purée. At this point the swirls may be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. To serve, top each swirl with a final layer of cookie crumbs.

I really enjoyed this as an easy but elegant dessert. I guarantee it's better for you and quite affordable compared to a dairy queen ice cream sundae. Treat yourself!

I let the frozen raspberries thaw before pureeing in blender, added some fresh squeezed lemon juice with powdered sugar. Everyone loved, will definitely make again!

My breakfast, on repeat: This, but with powdered stevia (no erythritol) vs. sugar, and granola vs. cookie crumbles. Virtue-ish and dee-lish!

Made for diabetics: Used “monkfruit in the raw” added to raspberries (we grow, so fresh) And ‘truvia stevia brown sugar with molasses’ added to oatmeal in a frypan with melted butter and a dash of salt (since we did not have cookies.
