How to Make Yogurt Dessert

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a simmer. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the mixture into a bowl and let it cool completely. Cover the bowl to prevent a skin from forming.
  5. Once cooled, gently whisk in the yogurt until smooth and creamy.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture.
  8. Pour the dessert into individual serving dishes or a larger bowl.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  10. Before serving, garnish with chopped pistachios, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
