Description
I am perpetually fighting the ‘battle of the bulge’ and trying to eat healthy whole foods. And while I love salads and fruits and vegetables, sometimes what I REALLY want is something creamy and rich and smooth and cold and oh-so-satisfying. This Yogurt Creme is everything I love, plus it’s packed with protein and calcium and low in fat!
Ingredients
- 1 quart Plain Natural Yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon Milk (or Enough For The Consistency You Like)
- 2 Tablespoons Honey, Or To Taste
- 2 teaspoons Good Vanilla
- ¼ cups Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate, Thawed
- ½ cups Fresh Mixed Berries Or Fruit (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Toasted Chopped Pecans Or Pine Nuts (optional)
Preparation
Strain the yogurt for 12-24 hours in a cheesecloth-lined strainer. It will drain away about 1/2 its volume in clear yellow liquid, leaving you with thick, magical, wonderful, richly creamy stuff called yogurt cheese. It will be quite stiff so beat it until smooth with wire whisk or mixer.
Add milk, honey, vanilla, and orange juice concentrate and beat until smooth.
Layer your yogurt creme in a pretty glass with fresh fruit or berries, toasted nuts, etc….or enjoy it all by itself. Mmm….
