Notes
Yogurt Choice: For the creamiest custard, use full-fat Greek yogurt. Its thickness prevents the custard from being too runny. If you use regular yogurt, the taste will still be great, but the texture will be softer.
Bread Matters: Stale or day-old bread works exceptionally well for this recipe, as it soaks up the custard beautifully without becoming soggy.
Fruit Variations: Feel free to swap the berries with other fruits like sliced peaches, raspberries, or chopped mango for a different flavor profile.
