Choosing what to serve for dessert can sometimes seem overwhelming. If you serve a heavy meal you tend to go for a lighter dessert. Of course it only makes sense that if you have a light dinner you could indulge a little more and serve something really decadent. What if I told you you could have it all? Literally . . . the whole shebang! Well, the recipe I have for you today is healthy as well as delicious. Since I had given you the instructions for making your own homemade yogurt and posted so many savory recipes using yogurt or garlic yogurt, I thought I should also share a dessert made with yogurt. This is a light and delicious dessert that I think you will enjoy.
