Sikarni Pistachio Spiced Yogurt
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Degree of difficulty: very easy
Preparation time: start the recipe the night before. Then 10 minutes
Cooking time: 0 minutes
- 2 3/4 cups natural yogurt
- 1/4 cup thickened cream
- 1 tablespoon Bronte pistachio paste*
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons chopped pistachios
- Fruit to decorate
Step 1 - Place the yogurt and cream in a cheesecloth or over three strong paper towels that line a sieve. Cover and set over a bowl and allow to drain overnight in the fridge. You don't need the whey that comes off the yogurt (although it is a good source of protein).
Step 2 - Place the thick yogurt in a medium sized bowl and sift the icing sugar over it and add the honey, pistachio paste, cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whip with a mixer for 3 or so minutes until fluffy and light. Step 3 - Pour into serving cups and top with cut fruit and chopped pistachios.
