For those times when you're strapped for time but still want something sweet and filling, this recipe is a lifesaver. Cleverly made using yogurt and cheese instead of wheat, it has a thick, creamy texture and a zesty, refreshing lemon flavor thanks to the inclusion of zest. Make this easy snack in no time at all by following these steps:
A Simple Yogurt Dessert Recipe
a trio of big eggs
The amount of sugar needed is 3/4 cup, OR 150 grams.
One lemon's zest (for that delightful tang)
2 cups (500 g) of Greek yogurt (equivalent to around 4 plain, unsweetened 125 g containers)
Eight ounces (about one cup or 250 grams) of mascarpone or cream cheese, whichever you like best
1-and-a-half tablespoons of cornstarch (for a perfectly thick dessert)
The Sweetness Process:
Combine the Sugar and Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the three large eggs and the 3/4 cup of sugar. To make them smooth, mix them well.
Get the Dairy and Zest on: For a zesty, refreshing taste, grate the zest of one lemon into the dish. Add the 8 ounces of cream cheese or mascarpone and then the 2 cups of Greek yogurt. Thanks to the cheese, it's much creamier and tastier.
To make it thicker, add a heaping spoonful of cornstarch and blend well. The key to achieving the perfect consistency in your dessert recipe without using wheat is this!
Create a Whip: Toss everything together until it's well combined and silky smooth. Your dessert will start to take form at this point, and magic will happen.
Cook (Optional): If you'd rather have a mousse-like texture in your dessert, you may use this mixture straight from the bowl for a no-bake option. Always bake or cook according to the recipe's directions; for example, most recipes ask for setting the ingredients in a water bath.
After chilling, serve. Allow the mixture to cool in the refrigerator for a while. If you've chosen not to cook it, this step becomes even more important. It sets and tastes better after chilling.
On hectic days or when unannounced visitors pop by, this lightning-fast dessert will rescue the day. The texture is velvety smooth, and the sweetness is spot on. And it has many uses! Before serving, feel free to garnish with fresh fruit, honey, or nuts. I hope you savor this exquisite delight.
