## How to Make Your Creamy Fruitcake

### Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

Wash and chop your fruit into bite-sized pieces. If you like, toss the fruit with lemon juice to keep it fresh and vibrant.

### Step 2: Mix the Base

In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using). Stir well until smooth.

### Step 3: Combine and Chill

Fold the fruit gently into the creamy yogurt mixture. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so the chia seeds soften and everything melds together beautifully.

### Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

Scoop into bowls or jars for a pretty presentation. This dessert is best enjoyed chilled for maximum refreshment.
