Instructions for the Homemade Giant Yogurette:




…preparations:

Line the loaf pan with the flexible plastic plate as seen in the duplo post, so that a rounding is created at the bottom of the pan, then use Sellotape to stick the plastic plate to the edges of the mold. Afterwards grease the pan with a little oil, line as smooth as possible with a sheet of cling film & then set aside.

Next, line a mixing bowl with a clean kitchen towel and put 500 grams of cream yogurt into the lined bowl. Fold together & screw in the kitchen towel to squeeze almost all of the liquid out of the yogurt. Then store the kitchen towel including yogurt in a sieve & set aside until further use to drain a bit more.




…for the strawberry pellets:

In a mortar finely pestle 30 grams of freeze-dried strawberries. Melt 50 grams of copha in the microwave. Next mix together melted copha, strawberry powder & 30 grams of powdered sugar in a bowl until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Then line the worktop with a sheet of baking paper, use a teaspoon to spread about 20 small strawberry heaps on the baking paper & allow them to harden completely.

…for the yogurt cream:




Melt 600 grams of white chocolate & 100 grams of copha over a double boiler or in the microwave. Then place melted chocolate & copha along with the drained yogurt (about 200 – 250 grams now) in a mixing bowl & mix for about 1 – 2 minutes until all ingredients are well combined.

Then pour the yogurt cream into the prepared loaf pan, press the hardened strawberry pellets into the cream and smooth it down with a spatula. Next, melt 100 grams of milk chocolate, pour into the mold and spread evenly with a brush. Allow the chocolate bar to rest in the fridge for about 4 hours to set completely.

…for the pattern & the chocolate coating:

Get the Yogurette out of the fridge & carefully overthrow onto the countertop. Remove the cling film & then use a teaspoon to carve in the typical pattern by inscribing wavy strips onto the surface.

After that line the countertop with baking paper, centrally place 2 equal high coffee mugs onto it & carefully put the Yogurette onto the mugs. Melt another 300 grams of milk & 100 grams of dark chocolate & stir together until smooth. Then pour the chocolate over the Yogurette until the whole bar is coated with chocolate.

Gently lift up the bar with your hands & carefully shake it back and forth, so that the excess chocolate can drip off & the inscribed pattern can be seen better.

Allow the chocolate to harden completely, then remove the chocolate tips at the bottom with a knife and serve the giant Yogurette afterwards. I wish you lots of fun baking 😉
