In most Nigerian homes, dessert is not given much importance. It is normally sweet food that concludes an evening meal. In French and English speaking countries, when dinner is served, there are three categories of food, which includes starter, main course and dessert.
White thick creamy swirl of solid yoghurt served in a cup with various toppings is what frozen yoghurt is, made much the same way as ice cream but with the exception of yoghurt culture. Two of the most important elements in frozen yogurt are water and air. Air is incorporated into the mixture to add volume. The main ingredients in frozen yoghurt are yoghurt and dairy products.
The history of frozen yoghurt goes back a long way, in fact thousands of years ago where it originated from Asia where water ices were first made. The dessert usually comes in low fat and high fat. People on a diet or diabetic patients that do not take sweetened desserts mostly consume the low-fat frozen yoghurt. The higher the level of fat, the more air the yoghurt can absorb and more air that is introduced into the mix as it freezes, the creamier the product will taste.
Although in most countries, frozen yoghurt is sold in shops and restaurants, with the options of freshly produced one, it is served in a variety of styles, flavors and colors.
The process of making frozen yoghurt isn’t difficult, especially when you have all the ingredients available. However, the most important equipment used in making yoghurt is an ice cream maker, which makes the procedure easier and faster.
Firstly you need to get your plain yoghurt, some amount of water, milk and other dairy products if needed. Wash your ice cream maker bowl and make sure it is clean. Pour the yoghurt, sweetener and any other ingredient a person wishes to add and then close the ice cream maker and let it mix the ingredients until the yoghurt mixes well and it gradually becomes frozen. When the mixture is frozen, it could be either scooped into a container for freezing or served right away.
Another method of making frozen yoghurt, especially if you don’t have an ice cream maker follows: All ingredients should be poured into a large bowl and whisk together using a hand whisk or mixer but the method requires a person to mix continuously. When all the ingredients are well incorporated, you cover the paste with a plastic wrap and put in the freezer to freeze for about 2 to 3 hours. And once it is frozen, it is ready for consumption.
It could be made to one’s preference by adding fruits, nuts, cookies, chocolate chips, and more. The next time you crave for a sweet, creamy dessert yet cautious about sugar, the refreshing tangy frozen yoghurt is something you could try.
