Blueberry Raspberry & Pistachio Labneh

Blueberry Raspberry & Pistachio Labneh

Fantastic healthy dessert or with you muesli for breakfast

500g Greek yoghurt

2 tbs honey

2 tbs maple syrup

1 tbs stevia or caster sugar

1 cup blueberries

1 cup raspberries 

1 1/2 cup crushed pistachio nuts

1. Place sieve over a large bowl and line it with cheesecloth. Place yoghurt into the cheesecloth-lined sieve. Gather the edges of the cloth and tie with kitchen string to form a parcel. With the sieve resting over a large bowl, place in the fridge and let drain for around 24 hours. The longer the yoghurt drains, the thicker the labneh consistency will be, so if you don’t mind it a little softer, overnight will do. Gently squeeze out the excess liquid and remove labneh from cheesecloth. It should have the consistency of cream cheese.

2. Place labneh into a bowl add honey, maple syrup and sugar, mix well. Add fruit and nuts and combine. 

Ready to serve.

 

I live in Adelaide (Australia) with my husband, my two adorable Norwegian cats ( Zeus and Zena ), a chicken, and a pigeon who now also thinks that he is a chicken! My ancestry is French so it goes without saying that my favourite place is Paris. The food, culture and atmosphere of Paris is nothing short of amazing.

I am a self taught home cook who loves big flavours in food. My passion for food surfaced when I was 10 years old, watching TV chef Ian Hewitson and learning different techniques. Since then, the food of Adrian Richardson and Jamie Oliver has been my inspiration. I love how one can create a healthy full flavoured meal from just the simplest of ingredients. I especially love chilli and garlic and use them in most of my food.

I enjoy hosting dinner parties for friends and family. Curries and rustic style dishes are my firm favorites and I know that my family and friends all agree! Just place it all in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves enjoying great food with good company.

I create flavoursome low calorie recipes which are featured on the internationally known website Weigh Yourself Slim.

Whilst I enjoy cooking I still love to go out to restaurants, especially when you discover ones with amazing food and that you must try and replicate at home!

So welcome to CCKFOOD. It is my creative playground where I am able to share my love of good food with you all. Enjoy.
