Greek-style yogurt can be consumed in countless ways, and as a dessert, it is one of the best alternatives to enjoy a sweet, delicious, and healthy dish.
There are few ingredients as versatile as Greek-style yogurt, especially FAGE Total (fa-yeh). This pioneering brand of the ingredient we are discussing not only focuses on creating a delicious yogurt but also follows a Mediterranean tradition of nutrition and health that perfectly aligns with diets and other health concerns.
The flavor of FAGE Total Greek-style yogurt has various tonalities. The neutral flavor is specifically sweet but also carries a touch of acidity and freshness that helps balance it and prevents it from becoming cloying. It is this broad flavor range that allows for the creation of several different desserts.
One option is to use Greek-style yogurt as ice cream. Simply place the desired amount in the freezer to achieve a firmer and creamier texture that can be used over brownies or paired with some fruit compote or jam. The cold temperature will be reminiscent of a popsicle, and the deep flavor will complement any sweet accompaniment.
Another alternative is a milkshake. For these, use some fruit element, perhaps some spices like vanilla or nutmeg, but always, a dairy element. By substituting milk with FAGE Total Greek-style yogurt, a silkier and thicker consistency is achieved, giving this drink a new face suitable for both kids and adults. One idea is to blend the yogurt with some ice and banana.
Now, if you think yogurt can only be used for cold or fresh recipes, here’s a different idea: a Greek-style yogurt cake. You can take any recipe you have that involves nuts, milk, and flour and replace the milk with yogurt. If you use vanilla essence and lemon zest, you will be complementing the sweet and acidic part of Greek-style yogurt, resulting in a well-rounded dessert that is lower in fat.
Another idea, if you prefer to have small containers that you can take from the fridge whenever you crave a snack, is a FAGE Total Greek-style yogurt mousse. All you need to do is add some sugar or artificial sweetener to the yogurt and 20 grams of gelatin to give it that smooth and silky texture. After this step, chill the mixture, but not before adding some chopped fruits like apple or pear.
