Sweet Yogurt Sundae with Saffron & Pomegranate

Ingredients

4 cups plain yogurt
1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 pomegranate
2 kiwis
pistachios
large pinch of saffron strands

Directions

1. Line a large sieve or colander with cheesecloth. Place colander over a bowl. Place yogurt in colander to drain for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator. Discard the water (or whey.) Turn the yogurt into a bowl and mix in the honey, nutmeg and cardamom.

2. Lightly toast the saffron strands in a small dry skillet over medium heat, until brittle. Let saffron cool on plate and with your fingers, finely crush the strands. Cut kiwi into small pieces and remove the seeds from the pomegranate.

3. Layer yogurt, fruit and saffron in dessert cups.

Chocolate Yogurt Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

2 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips (1oz/28g)
½ tsp almond extract
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup fat free plain yogurt (although vanilla would probably be delicious!)

Directions

Put the chips and extract in a stainless steel bowl and float it in hot water (or melt any way you normally melt chocolate).

Once melted add the yogurt and quickly mix in until well blended

Let it sit for a minute and serve!


Beet Cakes with Sweet Greek Yoghurts

Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, to grease baking pans
3 to 4 medium beets, to make 1 1/4 cups finely chopped
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
1 cup applesauce
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Sweet Greek Yoghurt
Beet Garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly grease 4 individual baking dishes with butter (oven proof ramekins or cocotte dishes work well). Peel beets and cut into pieces so they can fit comfortably in a food processor. Process with blade attachment until finely chopped.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. In a separate bowl, mix molasses, applesauce, eggs, buttermilk, and sugar together. Now mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients, add a pinch of salt, and then fold in the processed beets.

Set ramekins out on a sheet tray. Divide batter amongst ramekins and bake in the oven for 20 to25 minutes until they have puffed up and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serve with Sweet Greek Yogurt and top with Beet Garnish and powdered sugar.
