My mother used to make Shrikhand very often; this was one of her favorite desserts. She used to enjoy it more with mangoes, either in the form of ‘Aamrus’ (mango puree) or chunks. I have loved it ever since.
Ideally Shrikhand should be made with whole or full cream milk yogurt but you can also make it with low-fat or diet yogurt. The nuts are optional. You can add pineapple, mango or oranges, whatever you like to give it a different flavor.
In this recipe, I added fresh fruits which are not common in Indian fruit markets. You can call it as ‘hybrid’ of traditional recipe of Shrikhand.
Ingredients:
- 2 pound fresh yogurt- whole milk or full cream unsweetened
- 2-3 tbsp powdered sugar (modify according to your taste)
- 2-3 tbsp Orange flavored Fruitrition
- Fresh Blue Berries
- Fresh Strawberries diced into small chunks
- Dollop of Orange Sherbet (optional)
Method:
- Hang the yogurt in a clean muslin or cheesecloth for 2-3 hours to completely drain all the whey from it.
- Churn the drained yogurt well along with powdered sugar and Fruitrition in a bowl with the help of round part of the big serving spoon till it is smooth and creamy (for about 1-2 minutes).
- Now mix half of the fruits in it and chill it for an hour.
- Serve chilled with more fresh fruits and dollop of Orange Sherbet.
Note: If you do not have muslin or cheesecloth, add fruits directly to fresh thick yogurt and call it fruity yogurt.
