  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Base:

  4. Refrigerate:

    • Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap.

  6. Optional Toppings:

Chef Brooke Silk's Notes:

Make It Vegan: Use a plant-based yogurt and sweeten with maple syrup or agave nectar.

Make It Nut-Free: Substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or another nut-free alternative.
