Creamy Greek Yogurt Bliss: A Chilled Mediterranean Treat 🇬🇷

This Frozen Greek Delight is the ultimate creamy treat with a touch of Mediterranean freshness. Perfect for hot days or when you want a dessert that feels like a trip to Greece! 💙✨

📋 Ingredients

• For the crust:
  • 150 g crushed cookies (digestive or graham crackers work well)
  • 80 g melted butter 🧈
• For the filling:
  • 100 ml warm milk 🥛
  • 100 g sugar 🍬
  • 250 g heavy whipping cream 🥛
  • 500 g Greek yogurt 🥣
  • 1 packet (about 12 g) of setting agent (gelatin or pudding mix)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Crust:
Crush the cookies into fine crumbs and mix with the melted butter. Press this mixture into the base of a springform pan to form a firm crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

2️⃣ Prepare the Sweetened Milk:
Warm the milk in a saucepan over low heat. Dissolve the sugar completely, stirring until the milk is sweet and smooth.

3️⃣ Mix the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, heavy cream, and the setting agent. Stir gently but thoroughly to create a creamy base.

4️⃣ Combine the Mixtures:
Slowly pour the sweetened milk into the yogurt mixture, stirring continuously until the ingredients are fully incorporated. The result should be a smooth and airy mixture.

5️⃣ Assemble the Dessert:
Pour the filling over the chilled crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top and ensure an even layer. Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is set and firm.

6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
Carefully remove the dessert from the pan. Slice and serve cold for a refreshing and creamy Greek-inspired treat!
