Velvety vanilla yogurt dip with fruit
| An apple all by itself, is just an apple. But an apple accompanied by a bowl of this wonderful dip is an irresistible treat. Goes just as well with pears, peaches, strawberries, bananas -- just about any fruit you can think of. |

Ingredients
|
|
• |
1 cup (250 mL) plain yogurt |
|
• |
2 tbsp. (30 mL) brown sugar |
|
• |
1 tsp. (5 mL) vanilla extract |
|
• |
fruit slices, sections, chunks or whole berries - any kind you like |
|

Preparation
|
|
|
1. Place a paper coffee filter in a small strainer or filter holder set over a cup or bowl. Spoon the yogurt into the filter and let drain, refrigerated, for one hour (or more). This will drain out some of the liquid for a richer and more creamy dip. The longer you drain, the thicker the yogurt becomes. (You can omit this step if you're in a hurry -- the dip won't be quite so thick but will still taste delicious.) |
|
|
2. Dump drained yogurt into a small bowl. Add the brown sugar and vanilla, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. |
|
|
Serve with prepared fruit for dipping. Makes about 2 servings. |
