Chef's Note
For the best texture, make sure your Greek yogurt is at room temperature for about 10 minutes before assembling. This makes it creamier and easier to layer. If you need a touch of sweetness without adding sugar, try adding a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit extract to the yogurt mixture.
