The ‘cream’ uses the ‘yoghurt cheese’ method of dehydrating natural Greek yoghurt overnight in cheesecloth or muslin suspended over a bowl to remove a lot of the moisture. This creates a thick and creamy texture that’s perfect for piping just like frosting or whipped cream- with a fraction of the calories. Greek yoghurt also contains tummy friendly probiotics, which are very beneficial for weight loss. If time is short, low fat cream cheese could be used instead, with only 1 tbsp. maple syrup required.
The other key technique for this dessert is using natural honey to make the ‘toffee’. This adds a lovely sweetness and texture without the need for sugar or condensed milk, which is the traditional method. This technique can be used to add a special touch to many different desserts and it only takes a few minutes! Just be aware that the toffee is best sprinkled on top just prior to serving, as it can stain the yoghurt and they won’t look quite as pretty.
