Description
This little breakfast opener is a favorite of our guests and it’s easy to make. While you can make a sugar-free and fat free version of this….why would you?
Ingredients
| 6 | oz | peach yogurt |
| 1 | T | greek-style yogurt |
| 1 | t | honey |
| 1⁄4 | t | peach schnapps |
| 1 | t | sugar |
| 1 | c | peaches (fresh or frozen) |
Instructions
Combine the two yogurts and honey whipping until the mixture is integrated and smooth. Cut up peaches and place in a bowl. Reserve two whole peach wedges for garnish. Sprinkle sugar and peach schnapps over peaches and stir gently to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
In the bottom of a dessert dish, alternate layers of yogurt and the peach mixture. Finish with yogurt as your top layer.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and garnish with the reserved peach wedges and a sprig of mint.
Notes
To make a strawberry version of this dish, substitute grand marnier for the peach schnapps and strawberry yogurt for the peach yogurt and fresh strawberries for the peaches.
What's Greek-Style yogurt?
What's Greek-Style yogurt?
I believe it's a thicker style yogurt. I have still to try it out. It's very popular.

What's Greek-Style yogurt?
I believe it's a thicker style yogurt. I have still to try it out. It's very popular.
One brand name is Fage, often found in our organic section of the grocery store, and Trader Joe's makes their own brand. It's thicker and a little less sweet - probably would be better for fruit parfaits at the Inn, but I don't make those often.

To make your own: Set a sieve over a bowl. Line the sieve with cheesecloth or a coffee filter. Fill with any kind of natural yogurt (as in, no gelatin, pectin or other fillers). Let drain, refrigerated, overnight. Discard the water that comes out and you're left with thick yogurt.
The yogurt you start with can be low-fat, no-fat or full-fat; and it can be flavoured or not. If you used plain, you can sweeten it with honey, jam, vanilla sugar or whatever. Very nice with fruit.

We use the Fage and yes you can substitute with the above, however the greek yogurt doesn't have the same sharp taste that American yogurt has. In greece they just add honey and walnuts to it. It's absolute heaven. American yogurt is closer to tasting like sour cream, in fact we use it instead of sour cream in our personal diet. The greek-style really works best with this kind of dish.
Now that's inspiring, we have lots of fruity wines and meads here in the valley, I'll have to experiment...and have a little of the food too. 
Ooh, la, la, can't wait for peach season, thanks for this!
This is one of those we figured out as we went along. My wife had been marinating strawberries in Grand Mariner, Lime Juice and a little bit of sugar. This got me to wondering about the Peach Schnapps. BINGO. It's really good!
I tried Peach Brandy, but the Schnapps works best. The brandy might work well in a peach compote...I'll have to try that.
