MOO mango yoghurt panna cotta

Christmas growing up was all about the desserts. Yes a sausage for lunch was always good, but it was the table full of different desserts that would get my heart racing as a chubby little girl.

We loved light, creamy and sweet desserts. And every year I say to myself I’ll try making panna cotta, but I never have! So when Mr Bball and I had two friends over for dinner as a pre-Christmas catch up I couldn’t wait to finally give panna cotta a go. In an effort to make it light and tangy, yoghurt replacing the cream seemed like an obvious choice.

Truth be told my friend was weary of panna cotta, but I think I won her over with this recipe.


Ingredients:
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 100g sugar
  • 3 teaspoons of gelatine powder
  • ¼ cup hot water 
  • 400g MOO mango yoghurt

Method:
  • Combine cream, honey and sugar over low heat. Cook until honey and sugar dissolves
  • Sprinkle the gelatine powder into the hot water and stir until dissolved. Once dissolved set aside for 8 minutes
  • Combine the cream and gelatine mixture and let cool for approximately 30 minutes
  • Whisk in the yoghurt until well combined
  • Split the mixture across four glasses
  • Place in the fridge overnight to set
  • Serve with strawberries, crushed biscuits and mint.

One tip – the crushed biscuits really does add a lot to the dish. The texture almost resembles cheesecake with the addition of the biscuit crunch.

Happy holidays.

Challenge 3 - Milo and Yoghurt - I think it's my best!

Image
My workmate elegantly put up on my blog "Milo and Yoghurt...go!" This one I had to say excited me. Everytime I eat milo I feel like a kid again. That's what I love about food, it's ability to take you back to memorable moments in your life. Even a piece of kraft single cheese on a piece of toast reminds me of all the amazing times I had at my grandma's growing up. Time at grandma's house with my cousins was always my favourite part of the school holidays. So yes, I was excited and I felt like a kid again. Growing up I used to love eating chocolate mousse, it was just beautiful. So a milo and yoghurt mousse came straight to mind. Smooth, rich and light. However milo itself isn't overly sweet and the yoghurt will make the mousse rather tart. So I thought it needed something to even out the flavour. Like lemon compliments tequila, strawberries compliment chocolate. So I thought a sweet strawberry compote would work well. In terms of visuals, I needed somethin...

Thai meatballs

Image
I think meatballs are one of the most diverse dishes of all time - cooked in tomato sauce in Italy and Greece, wrapped in flatbread in Turkey, served in hot soup in Vietnam or covered in gravy in Sweden. When done well, they are moist, delicious and a great cheap eat. When done badly they are dry and tasteless.  Lending itself to so many different creations, I like to experiment with the humble meatball. For this dish you can use traditional coconut milk however for a tangy and creamy twist, you can use yoghurt. Go with your gut.  Ingredients: 500g pork or beef 1/2inch of ginger, grated 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 1 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon of crushed lemongrass 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons of coriander 1 red chili (small or ½ big chili – remove seeds if you don’t like spice) ½ teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon flour 1 tablespoons of thai paste (you can use green curry paste if you like or follow the below recipe) 3/4 cup of chicken stock ½ ...

Chocolate peanut butter balls

Image
We were going to visit family for morning tea when I had a moment of panic and realised I had nothing to take. In these situations no bake bites are my go to. They are easy, simple and need very few ingredients. Whatever is in the pantry, you can put in a mixing ball with some melted butter and chocolate and you have a quick sweet treat. That day, I was wanting to feel like a kid again so looked for ingredients that would conjure up fond childhood memories. That ingredient for me is peanut butter. Peanut butter with honey on toast was my weekend indulgence. I loved the sweet and salty combination.  So with almond biscuits in the pantry and an abundance of peanut butter at my disposal I got to work. This week’s blog recipe is chocolate peanut butter balls. What you make with things from the pantry.
