Diy Yogurt Flip Cups Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper. Place a large bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer in the freezer.
• Place the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse a couple of times to blend. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles small peas or pebbles. Transfer the mixture to a medium-size bowl.
• Add the buttermilk and blend with a fork until just combined.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a couple times to bring the dough together. Roll out to a 1-inch-thick disk and cut into 2 1/4-inch circles with a round cookie cutter or small glass dipped in flour. Do this by pressing the glass into the dough, but do not twist the glass (you will get better height in the biscuit this way.) You should be able to get 4 biscuits out of the first disk. Gather the scraps, pat it out gently, and cut more rounds until you have used up all the dough. Transfer the dough pieces to the prepared baking sheet and space evenly apart.
• This is optional, but it creates a light golden color: Remove 1 tablespoon of cream from the cup of whipped cream and use that to brush the tops of the shortcakes. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 12 minutes, or until puffed and lightly browned.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack. Then split the shortcakes in half crosswise.
• Prepare the whipped Greek yogurt and cream: Remove the mixing bowl and beaters from the freezer. Place the cream and yogurt in the bowl and beat on high speed. While the mixer is going, add the sugar and vanilla and beat until soft peaks form. Check the cream after 3 or 4 minutes and be sure not to overbeat.
• Place the bottom of each shortcake in the bottom of a wide-mouth half-pint mason jar (or just use individual bowls). Top with a dollop of the cream mixture and 1/3 cup of berries. Add the top of the shortcake, plus another dollop of cream and some more berries.

Steps:

• On a work surface, lay four clean cotton towels in a cross pattern, each with one end overlapping a few inches in the center. Position a large baking dish or glass mixing bowl in the center of the towels.
• Set the plain yogurt on the counter to warm to room temperature while preparing milk mixture.
• Combine milk and half-and-half in a large, heavy, non-aluminum pot. Heat over low to moderate heat, stirring constantly, until mixture just comes to the boil. Immediately remove from heat and pour mixture into the waiting bowl. Add 1 pint whipping cream, if desired, for added richness.
• Allow mixture to cool to 112 degrees F (44 degrees C). Gradually pour 1 cup of the warm milk into the yogurt, whisking constantly. Return the yogurt-milk mixture to the bowl and stir well. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; wrap kitchen towels up and over bowl, covering completely. Let stand at room temperature until firmly set, 8 to 12 hours.
• Refrigerate yogurt several hours or overnight to chill completely.

Steps:

• Layer custard style fruit yogurt with granola or Grape nuts and chunks of cut fruit. The fruit costs more cut than fresh, but when your cooking for 1, whole pineapples and melons can be daunting. Here, it's worth the extra cost to treat your body to some fresh fruit.

Steps:

• Pour the milk into a pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Reduce heat and simmer, about 10 minutes; do not let it boil over.
• Remove pot from heat and allow to sit for 30 to 60 minutes. Dip your finger into the milk every once in a while to determine when you can leave your finger in the milk for 10 to 15 seconds without burning. Pour in the yogurt; there is no need to stir.
• Put the lid on the pot and carefully wrap a blanket around it. Place the wrapped pot in a slightly warm place where it will be undisturbed for 6 to 10 hours; overnight is best. Transfer to the refrigerator to allow the yogurt to continue to thicken.
