Light and Easy Berry Berry Mess
A Simple, High-Protein Summer Dessert
This Easy Berry Mess is a lightened-up version of the classic British dessert. By swapping heavy double cream for creamy fat-free Greek yogurt and protein-rich fromage frais, you get all the indulgence of a traditional summer pudding with significantly fewer calories and less fat.
It’s the perfect “under 10-minute” dessert for warm evenings or a quick sweet treat that fits perfectly into a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

500g Fat-Free Greek Yogurt or Natural Fromage Frais: Provides a thick, creamy texture without the fat.
