Yoghurt Timbale

Description

This delightful Yoghurt Timbale is a refreshing and light dessert that is perfect for the warm Sydney summer. Created from a treasured family recipe, this dish combines creamy yoghurt with zesty lemon and a hint of sweetness, balanced beautifully by the subtle tang of homemade raspberry sauce. Originally developed by a talented Australian cook who worked professionally in a food section of a women’s magazine, this recipe has been lovingly updated from an old newspaper clipping using gelatin instead of gelatin leaves. Ideal for beginner cooks, this easy-to-make dessert requires minimal time and effort while delivering a delicious and elegant treat.

Ingredients

  • 800 grams of plain yoghurt
  • 160 grams of icing sugar
  • 2 lemons (rind and juice)
  • 2 teaspoons of gelatin powder
  • 3/4 cup of hot water
  • 4 tablespoons of cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gelatin
    Begin by dissolving the gelatin powder in 1/4 cup of hot water. Stir well to ensure that the gelatin is fully dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Mix Yoghurt and Sweetener
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yoghurt and icing sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

  3. Incorporate Lemon Flavor
    Zest the lemons and then juice them. Add both the lemon rind and lemon juice to the yoghurt mixture, blending well to integrate the fresh citrus flavor throughout.

  4. Combine Gelatin and Yoghurt
    Add a spoonful of the yoghurt mixture into the bowl with the dissolved gelatin. Stir this combination until well mixed. Then, pour this gelatin mixture back into the main bowl of yoghurt and mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution.

  5. Add Cream
    Stir in the cream to the yoghurt mixture, blending well until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

  6. Chill the Timbale
    Pour the prepared mixture into small dessert dishes, which should yield about 7 individual servings, or alternatively into a larger bowl if presentation is not a concern. Refrigerate the dishes until the yoghurt timbale is fully set. This should take approximately 2 hours, though you can let it chill longer if needed.

  7. Serve with Raspberry Sauce
    For an extra touch, serve the chilled timbale with a homemade raspberry sauce, which adds a vibrant and flavorful contrast to the creamy dessert.

Serving Suggestions

  • Garnish: Fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of lemon zest can add a touch of elegance.
  • Accompaniments: Pair with a light fruit compote or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
