I am sure you all know by now, at least the regular readers, that I don't do healthy desserts. If a recipe ask for butter i add butter won't go for margarine etc... and if they ask cream here it is full fat cream all the way, which also can be noticed lately on my waist and hipps too...........
Few dayw ago I was claeaning up all the winter clothes and taking out the summer clothes and each time I looked to a top , i was like this won't fit, it will be too tight or this skirts last button won't close etc.................I even had to go to the shops and buy few tops etc.
There is no use in moaning about it, I know i have to do something aobut it.
I think it is a start atleast you all got to see a dessert which is made with youghur, which is really unusual.
I do sometimes wish I was like some of the people I know who can eat anything they want and don't put on weight.
Now I will stop moaning and go to my kind of healthy dessert
This is my entry for which I am hosting here. You can find the details for the event here
300 to 400 gm Strawberies hulled and sliced
2 tsp icing sugar
2 to 3 tbsp of Monin strawberry syrup (optional, using the syrup gave my youghurt a beautiful pink colour )
2 to 3 tbsp of Monin strawberry syrup (optional, using the syrup gave my youghurt a beautiful pink colour )
If you are not using the syrup you should add vanilla essence to the youghurt for taste.
400 gm Greek youghurt
100 gm of golden castor sugar. ( I used less amonut)
400 gm Greek youghurt
100 gm of golden castor sugar. ( I used less amonut)
1. Divide the strawberries among four ramekins and sprinkle with icing sugar.
2. Add the strawberry syrup to the youghurt ( if you don't have this, then add the vanilla essence) and mix it till evreything is combined. Spread the mixture evenly over the fruit.
3. Preaheat the grill to high. Sprinkle the caster sugar evenly over the youghurt until it is well covered.
4. Put the ramekins on a baking sheet or into the grill pan and grill untill the sugar turns dark brown and caramises.
Leave for 15 minutes or untill the caramel is cool enough to eat, or chill for upto 2 hours before serving.
I used my blow torch for caramelising the suagr.

That's a healthy and quick dessert HC!!! Looks really delicious!
ReplyDeleteHere strawberry season is over....I will try to make something from frozen strawberry or with jam and send it for your event:)
Strawberry Brulee looks divine, i love the touch of caramelized sugar..yum yum
ReplyDeleteWe don't get Greek yoghurt here, as far as I know. I suppose we have to strain ordinary curds and try it with that. Even then, I'm not sure how it would be.
ReplyDeleteThat looks absolutely fantastic HC.
ReplyDeleteGreek Yogurt
We live only once and we got to enjoy some sins too right. As for ending up in the hips you are on the right track now :)
Strawberry Brulee looks delicious.Its something I have never tried making.
ReplyDeleteAbout putting on weight,isn't that an issue every blogger worries about;)??With so many yummilicious recipes readily available,it isn't much of a surprise that the inches on our weight keep expanding!!

ReplyDeletethat looks yum HC. I have tried to make healthy desserts, but in the end have realised that I'd rather do the 'unhealthy' ones and enjoy them thoroughly. Portion control, that's what works for me.
ReplyDeleteA strawberry brulee looks amazing! Would love to have some!
ReplyDeletewow thats wonderful variation for brulee.... lookin so lovely .. i should try this for sure.
ReplyDeleteLooks so sweet, healthy version, that good!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks too delicious. Lovely Dessert.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous of people who can eat anything and still do not put on weight...Hmmm lucky few.
I think weight gain and food blogging go hand in hand... it's so hard to resist after seeing delicious food everywhere. Strawberry brulee looks so pretty and must be delicious.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea! Perfect dessert! :)
ReplyDeleteFinally a brulee without eggs! Yay! I can try it. I too wish I was one of the people who don't put on weight!

ReplyDeleteWOOW HC...Wat a delicious and gorgeous also colourful strawberry brulée!
ReplyDeleteThats a great dessert. Ones with yogurt don't make us feel so guilty.
ReplyDeleteAbout clothes, I have a huge suitcase full of them that don't fit and most of them new. Don't know what to do with them:)
What a great treat!
ReplyDeleteThe creaminess of the yogurt and the caramelised sugar on top...yum yum!
ReplyDeleteLOL i don't think desserts are supposed to be healthy. This looks wonderful esp, the eggless version. Very nice idea.
ReplyDeleteDelicious snack HC..mouthwatering..

ReplyDeleteI like the fllecks of strawberry in your brulee.
