And this parfait was cool.
And had a little crunch of my favorite oatmeal digestive cookies.And Quick.
I had two kiwis in my fridge and no one wanted another smoothie. We've been through strawberry smoothie, banana oatmeal smoothie, Mango Smoothie, kiwi smoothie and even blueberry smoothies-ok using a bottled crush.
So that meant a mason jar dessert.
Or a chai glass dessert.
Only I have no cream in my freezer, not had the heart to go out to lug supplies till the rains start.
So yogurt it was.
Mother dairy ,Amul ,Danone...whatever.
Just make sure its store bought.
For the
Kiwi Parfait with Oatmeal Cookies-Beat the Heat...
You need
2 kiwis
2 tsp honey
1 small tub yogurt 200 mls
2 oatmeal digestive cookies
Slivered almonds optional
Peel the kiwis and chop them into bite sized pieces.
Add a spoon or two of honey to sweeten them and leave them an hour or two to macerate.
If you insist on using homemade yogurt,now would be a good time to hand the yogurt to drain some whey.You want thick greek yogurt or whipped cream frosting consistency.
Chill the yogurt.
When you are ready to assemble the dessert or feel peckish...sweeten the yogurt with honey if needed.
You can leave the yogurt as it is...the cookies are sweet too.Just whisk it really well.
Glass at the ready.
Spoon the macerated kiwis at the base.
Top with a spoon of yogurt.
Crumble a cookie over the yogurt and then the yogurt again.
This helps to maintain the crunch.
You can add your slivered almonds here.
Top with the chopped kiwis and a wee bit of the cookie crumbs.
Perfect.
Parfait.
Dig in.This is a quick dessert that satisfies your cravings and also ensures some health benefits.
Kiwi is a power packed fruit loaded with anti oxidants and vitamins and of course freshness.
Yogurt is a blessing in the summer. Gut bacteria stay happy. And if you hand homemade yogurt, drink the whey.Allow couple of cookies to sweeten your day once in a while.
Cheers.
Meanwhile, a battle rages.
What is the difference between a Torte and a Cake as An all American Chocolate Torte rises in my oven.
