A-Z of treats
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Y is for Yoghurt Burnt Cream in our alphabet of sweet treats which has made no concessions to
healthy eating, though this is a little less calorific than a full creme brulee. It's from Nigel Slater's Real Fast Puddings (Michael Joseph pounds 9.99).
YOGHURT BURNT
CREAM
Serves 4 to 6
1 large carton thick Greek-style
strained yoghurt
450g/1lb stoned, chopped nectarines, peaches
or seasonal fruit
Approx 110g/4oz caster sugar
You will need those sweet little white china ramekins or a shallow dish similar to a quiche plate. Two-thirds fill the dishes with the fruit then cover with the yoghurt and smooth flat with the blade of a knife. Sprinkle with caster sugar, making sure you completely cover the yoghurt to the thickness of a pound coin.
Place on the grill pan and cook under a preheated hot grill till the sugar starts to caramelise. Probably a couple of minutes. You may have to turn the dishes round to achieve an even effect.
You need not stick to nectarines or peaches. Other fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, also work well.
