Ingredients needed for Yogo Fresh with Kiwi:

For the base:
- 8 eggs (preferably free-range for a more intense flavor)
- 16 tablespoons of sugar (you can opt for brown sugar for a caramelized taste)
- 16 tablespoons of flour (wheat flour is ideal, but you can experiment with whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
- 10 tablespoons of water (mineral water for a fluffier texture)
- 1 lemon essence (or the freshly squeezed juice of one lemon)
- 1 baking powder (for a fluffy texture)

For the syrup:
- 60 ml lemon juice (freshly squeezed for an intense flavor)
- 100 g sugar (you can adjust the amount according to your preferences)
- Zest of 1 lemon (for an extra flavor)

For the topping:
- 3 kiwis (choose ripe kiwis for a sweet taste)
- 50 g sugar
- 5 tablespoons of water

Steps for preparation:

1. Preparing the base:
Start by separating the yolks from the whites. Beat the egg whites with the 10 tablespoons of water using a mixer until you achieve a stiff foam. This step is essential, as the aerated egg whites will make the base light and fluffy. Then add the yolks one by one, gently mixing with a spatula to avoid losing air from the mixture. Incorporate the lemon essence and the flour mixed with the baking powder, pouring them in a rain-like manner. This will help you avoid lumps.

2. Baking the base:
Line a square baking tray with parchment paper and grease it with oil to prevent sticking. Pour the base mixture into the tray and place it in the preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 10-15 minutes. The base is ready when it turns slightly golden and passes the toothpick test (when inserted in the center, it should come out clean).

3. Preparing the syrup:
In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice with the sugar and place it over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the syrup begins to thicken slightly. Add the lemon zest at the end to enhance the flavor. Let it cool.

4. Preparing the topping:
Peel the kiwis and cut them into pieces. Put them in a blender along with 5 tablespoons of water and the sugar. Blend until you obtain a smooth paste. This step will not only add a delicious taste but will also give a vibrant color to your dessert.

5. Assembling the dessert:
Once the base has cooled, remove it from the tray and use a round cutter to cut out circles from it. Soak each piece with the lemon syrup, ensuring that each serving absorbs the delicious flavors. On each piece of base, add the kiwi topping, distributing the paste evenly.

6. Cooling:
Place the dessert in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to blend and the dessert to become refreshing.

Serving suggestions:
Yogo Fresh with Kiwi is usually served cold, but you can experiment by adding a spoonful of Greek yogurt on top for a creamy contrast or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. You can also decorate with slices of fresh kiwi for an attractive appearance.
