Instructions
Orange Jelly Layer
- Line a colander with cheesecloth and set it over a deep bowl. Spoon the yogurt onto the cheesecloth, cover it, and let it drain in the refrigerator overnight to remove excess whey.
- In a large bowl, add the orange jelly mix and top with 1 cup boiling water. Mix well until fully dissolved. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Add one cup of yogurt and using a whisk, mix very well until you get a smooth mixture. Strain the mixture if needed.
- Pour ¼ cup of the jelly mixture (as more if you want a thicker layer) into your serving cups. Place in the fridge for 4-6 hours to set fully.
Chocolate Shrikhand Layer
- In a heat proof bowl, combine the chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave for 20-30 seconds until the chocolate softens. Stir using a spatula to fully melt the chocolate until smooth. Let cool for 5-7 minutes before using.
- In a large bowl, add the cold thick, strained yogurt, cocoa, melted chocolate, cardamom and powdered sugar.Using a whisk, combine verything until super smooth. Your chocolate shrikhand is ready.
- Add the shrikhand to a piping bag and pipe it over the set jelly layer neatly on top for a clean, layered finish. Chill the cups for until ready to serve.
- Top the shrikhand with cut up kiwi and serve chilled. Enjpy!
Notes
- This dessert stays good for 2 days in the fridge. After that I noticed that the shrikhand started leaving water.
- Add powdered sugar to taste. Start with small quantity and adjust gradually.
