Hi all, I am thrilled to meet all of you through my blog after almost 2 months. I am very thankful for those who enquired about my absence through email. Yes I took a break for about 2 months. My parents visited us and we had wonderful summer vacation with very memorable trips:)
I really missed all your posts and also my blog very badly. I hope you all will enjoy this dessert post after my looooooong break.
Creamy Vanilla Yogurt with Balsamic Strawberries - I guarantee you will end up licking the bowl clean :):)
Creamy Vanilla Yogurt
Ingredients :
Yogurt - 2cups
Heavy cream - 1/3 cup
Sugar - 1/3 cups
Vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon
Method :
1. Drain the yogurt in a cheese or muslin cloth. Keep a bowl underneath the tied cheese cloth to collect the extra liquid.
2. Keep the yogurt tied for an hour until the excess water is drained and then transfer to refrigerator for atleast 8 hrs or overnight.
3. Next day the yogurt will become thick. Remove the thickened yogurt from the cloth and put it in a bowl.
4. Now whip the heavy cream with the sugar and Vanilla extract till soft peak is formed.
5. Add the thick yogurt to the whipped mixture. Beat them using the egg beater softly until they are well blended.
6. Serve Chilled.
Enjoy the rich and creamy vanilla yogurt with your favorite fruits!!!
Note :
1. Transfer the tied yogurt to the refrigerator immediately after the excess water is drained to avoid sour yogurt.
2. Try to use fresh yogurt for this recipe. The yogurt should not be very sour.

2. Simmer over low heat until the strawberries break down and the mixture becomes thick and syrupy. (Stirring occasionally)
3. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
4. You can store this in refrigerator for a week and use as needed.
Method 2 : (oven)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 f.
2. Place strawberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, vanilla bean seeds and pod into an oven proof glass tray or dish.
3. Let them cook in the oven until the strawberries break down and the mixture becomes thick and syrupy.
4. This approximately takes about 45 minutes to 1 hr stirring every 15 to 20 minutes.
5.Once the Balsamic strawberries are completely cooled, store them in the airtight container and refrigerate up to one week.
