Note
Allow the vanilla syrup to cool completely before blending with raspberries to prevent the yoghurt from curdling or separating when mixed.
If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a teaspoon of water or milk. If too thin, let it sit in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.
For a vegan version, ensure you use a plant-based yoghurt substitute.
Store leftover sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving as separation may occur.
You can scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the syrup for a more intense vanilla flavor and visible specks.
