Kiwi yoghurt

Well, I’ve been away a while. I mean, I was around, just somewhere else. Sorry!

I mean:

“Sowwy”

Come to think of it, I owe myself an apology first. It is my own site I abandoned for over a week, after all. Over a week. That’s never happened before.

I do have a decent excuse, though. Like everyone. I was working very hard. On other important things. Decent excuse, right? You’ll have to take my word for it.

Still, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been cooking. Appearances aside, I’ve taken a step towards following the rules of the food-blogging world. Namely: cook in bulk at the weekend so you can post something new every day during the week.

Apparently that really is how it works. You don’t cook to eat, you cook for the blog, the website, whatever you want to call it. Anything to treat you to a few recipes. You and Uncle Google, obviously.

And silly me, until now I’d write things up as I cooked them, practically straight after eating whatever I’d made. Until today. Although this particular recipe is only a few moments old. Definitely from today.

Back to the recipes, plural: I’ll be turning out a few today. Writing them up, I mean, since I haven’t given up on cooking in order to eat. Over the past few days I’ve taken pictures of what I cooked for myself or for other people, and now all I’m doing is writing it down. I’ve got a few recipes. So I’m putting Real Madrid v Valencia on (Atlético lost today, so Real have a shot at the title) and getting them down.

Kiwi yoghurt is up first, although as I said, I made it last, just a moment ago. The idea was so simple it hardly seems worth all that clacking away at the keyboard.

I just came home wanting something fruity, something milky and something sweet. Preferably not some rubbish out of an advert. The result was a simple but rather fine little mix. Yoghurt made from kiwi, banana and, most importantly, mascarpone. Give it a try.

At a glance: 

Prep time: 4 minutes

Serves: one generous portion for one (but you can always use more kiwis, bananas and mascarpone)

Calories: next to none, it’s dessert after all

Ingredients for a kiwi dessert / breakfast / snack:

• 1 kiwi 
• 1 ripe banana
• 2 tablespoons of mascarpone
• 1 teaspoon of sugar

How to make the yoghurt:

You’ll practically be done before you start reading. Don’t let that surprise you. So if you get to the banner saying “The Primitive Cookbook with Recipes, Part 1” and you’ve missed the recipe, come back here and start again. Just a bit slower 😉

I peeled the kiwi, cut it into a few pieces and dropped them into a tall beaker (the one that came with the blender). I did the same with the banana. In went a teaspoon of sugar and two tablespoons of mascarpone. I blended everything until smooth. All done. Enjoy!

PS

Don’t be fooled: what you get is quite a runny yoghurt, not a soft cheese. So don’t get your hopes up for anything really thick.
