- 2Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
- 3Pat berries dry after washing so they don’t water down the yogurt.
- 4If making ahead, store toasted coconut and nuts separately to keep them crisp.
- 5Let the sweetened yogurt sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- 6For best texture, serve immediately after assembling so the coconut stays crunchy.
