Instructions:
- Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper, and set it aside.
- In a small, non-stick saucepan, heat the 1/3 cup of sugar over medium heat.
- Stir continuously as the sugar begins to melt and caramelize. It will turn a golden brown color. Be careful not to burn it.
- Once the sugar is fully melted and has a deep amber color, immediately add the macadamia nuts to the saucepan.
- Stir quickly to coat the nuts with the caramelized sugar.
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Allow it to cool completely until it hardens.
- While the praline cools, wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
- Rinse the raspberries and blueberries gently under cold water and let them drain.
- Once the praline has cooled and hardened, break it into small pieces or roughly chop it into bite-sized chunks.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.
- Add half of the praline pieces to the bowl, tossing gently to mix them with the berries.
- To serve, place a generous dollop of Greek yogurt in the bottom of individual serving bowls or plates.
- Spoon the berry and praline mixture over the yogurt.
- Sprinkle the remaining praline pieces on top for added crunch.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crunchy, and creamy combination!
