## The Science Behind the Creaminess: No Gelatin, No Problem!
The creamy, thick texture of this dessert comes from the combination of two key ingredients:
* **Greek Yogurt:** Strained to remove whey, Greek yogurt is thick, creamy, and high in protein. It lends body and tang to desserts.
* **Sweetened Condensed Milk:** A dense, sugary milk concentrate, it sweetens the dessert and adds a luscious smoothness that coats the tongue.
Together, they form a stable, creamy base that holds its shape without needing gelatin or other thickeners.

## Ingredient Spotlight and Tips
### Greek Yogurt
* Choose full-fat Greek yogurt for richness, or low-fat versions for fewer calories.
* Plain yogurt is best for controlling sweetness, but vanilla or honey-flavored varieties work too.
* For dairy-free options, try coconut or almond milk-based yogurts.
### Sweetened Condensed Milk
* This is key for sweetness and texture. If avoiding dairy, look for coconut condensed milk or sweetened condensed almond milk.
* You can adjust sweetness by reducing the amount or swapping for honey or maple syrup, but texture may vary.
### Vanilla Extract
* Pure vanilla extract adds aroma and depth. Avoid imitation vanilla for best flavor.
### Fresh Fruit Toppings
* Seasonal berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) are great for tartness.
* Tropical fruits (mango, pineapple) add sweetness and color.
* Bananas or peaches add softness and mellow flavor.
### Optional Garnishes
* Nuts add crunch and healthy fats.
* Granola brings texture and heartiness.
* Shredded coconut or dark chocolate shavings elevate indulgence.
