This sophisticated summer dessert is sure to impress your guests. Swap peaches for apricots for a slightly different flavor. Grilling the apricots caramelizes the fruit and brings out the natural sugars. The yogurt mixture can be made and refrigerated for 2 days before use. You can also serve the yogurt mixture with other fruit such as strawberries or blueberries. You can garnish with some fresh mint. To crush the cookies, place them in a zip-top plastic freezer bag and pound them with either a kitchen mallet or a rolling pin.
