Substitutions & Additions

Feel free to get creative with this recipe! Here are some ideas:

• Use flavored yogurt, such as vanilla or coconut, to enhance the dessert.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice twist.
• Mix in some chia seeds for added nutrition and texture.

Tips for Success

Here are a few tips to ensure your dessert shines:

• Make sure your kiwis are ripe for the best flavor; they should give slightly when pressed.
• Don’t forget to toss the kiwi mixture gently to avoid mushiness.
• Prep the kiwi mixture ahead of time, but assemble the dessert just before serving to keep the yogurt fresh.
