Gingered Caramel And Yogurt Dip Recipes

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Beat in yogurt and 1/4 cup of the topping until smooth. Cover; refrigerate at least 30 minutes until chilled.
• Spoon dip into small serving bowl. Drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons topping; swirl with tip of knife. Sprinkle with ginger. Serve with apple and pear slices.

Steps:

• Whisk yogurt, chutney, curry powder, ginger, and lime juice in a small bowl until well blended. Chill for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Steps:

• Place yogurt in a fine-meshed strainer or colander lined with cheesecloth. Place strainer over a bowl and drain for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Reserve all liquid in bowl: this is whey. There should be about 2 cups firm drained yogurt. If necessary, return enough whey to yogurt to make 2 cups.
• In a medium saucepan, place sugar, salt and 1 cup whey. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently; adjust heat as needed so mixture does not boil over. Cook until liquid boils off and remaining syrup becomes deep brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Add 2 tablespoons whey to pot and stir to blend well. If mixture is too thick to stir, add another tablespoon of whey. Allow caramel to cool slightly, stirring frequently to make sure it remains fluid. (If caramel stiffens too much to stir, place over a pot of hot water and stir until fluid again.) Add 1/4 cup yogurt to pot and stir vigorously to blend. Add remaining yogurt and stir to blend fully.
• Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes. If desired, serve garnished with a sprinkling of cardamom, cinnamon or grated lemon zest.

Steps:

• Berries and yogurt
• Mix yogurt and ginger in medium bowl; spread in large shallow serving bowl. Cover yogurt with berries. DO AHEAD Can be made 4 hours ahead; cover and chill.
• Caramel
• Stir sugar and water in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil without stirring until mixture is dark caramel color, swirling pan occasionally, about 7 minutes. Immediately pour hot caramel over berries, avoiding pouring down inner sides of bowl. Let stand until caramel hardens, about 5 minutes, and serve.
