Healthy Recipes Healthy Cookie & Dessert Recipes Healthy Dessert Recipes with Fruit Healthy Strawberry Dessert Recipes Strawberry Shortcake 2.0 (1) 1 Review These light and fresh strawberry shortcakes lean on nonfat Greek-style yogurt instead of butter or cream in the shortcakes. Just a small amount of sugar and a pinch of lemon zest is all you need to bring out the flavor of fresh strawberries in this easy diabetes-friendly dessert.

Whisk all-purpose flour, pastry flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup yogurt and milk, using a flexible spatula to incorporate the milk into the flour mixture until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently bring it together with your hands until it holds together and there are no more floury bits. Pat into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle; cut evenly into 6 rectangles (about 2-by-1 1/2 inches each). Transfer the rectangles to a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush with milk. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare strawberries: Stir sliced strawberries, sugar and lemon zest together in a medium bowl. Let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices, about 20 minutes. To prepare honey yogurt: Whisk yogurt, honey and vanilla together in a small bowl until very smooth and creamy. To serve, slice the cooled shortcakes in half. Spread 2 tablespoons honey yogurt on the bottom half of each shortcake. Top each with 3 tablespoons strawberries and drizzle evenly with accumulated juices. Top each with the top half of the shortcake. Serve immediately.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
