View this email in your browser | Manage newsletter preferences Shrikhand Shrikhand is yogurt in its dreamiest, creamiest dessert form, and it is one of my favorite sweets of all time. This impossibly smooth, thick, saffron-studded, I-can't-believe-I-made-this-with-yogurt treat is typical of the Indian state of Gujarat. When I'm back home in Texas, I make shrikhand with my dad’s homemade yogurt, but you can get that same silkiness with good-quality whole-milk Greek yogurt. In what turned out to be a real game-changer, my friend Khushbu suggested putting shrikhand in a graham cracker crust and refrigerating it, like a no-bake pie. Shrikhand pie is an excellent idea, but I'm just as happy spooning it out of the bowl as is. –Priya Krishna, contributing writer Get the recipe Your Shopping List ❑ 4 cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt ❑ ½ tsp. saffron threads, divided ❑ 4 green cardamom pods, seeds removed, or 1 tsp. ground cardamom ❑ ½ cup sugar Get the recipe More No-Bake Summer Desserts: Chocolate-Almond Fridge Fudge There's also a secret ingredient that helps replace the dairy in this vegan, fudgelike treat.
