Ingredients




For Yogurt/Shrikhand
•	2/3 cup hung yogurt or Greek yogurt
•	1 ½ tbsp. Icing sugar or powdered sugar
•	1 tsp Vanilla essence
For Berries Compote
•	½ cup chopped strawberries
•	½ cup cranberries
•	¼ cup blackcurrant juice (I used Ribena)
•	2 tbsp sugar (if the berries are very sour add 1 more tbsp. sugar)
Garnish
•	1 tbsp finely chopped strawberries
•	Whipped cream (appx 4 tbsp)
•	½ tsp cinnamon powder

Preparation

1 Whip together the Shrikhand ingredients till you get a smooth and creamy mixture. Approximately 2 minutes and chill for 1 hour. 2 Put all the compote ingredients in a pan and let in boil on low flame till you get a thick sauce like consistency ( approximately 12-15 minutes should be good enough). Keep stirring in between. Let it cool completely. 3 Now layer the dessert glass with alternate layers of compote and Shrikhand, start with a layer of compote and end with a layer of Shrikhand. Top with a layer of chopped strawberries and pipe or spoon some whipped cream and dust it with cinnamon powder. 4 Chill for at least two hours before serving. 5 If you are using the ready to pipe whipped cream, you can add the whipped cream just before serving.
