Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Blackcurrant Baked Yogurt

For an extra-smooth texture, strain the yogurt through cheesecloth for several hours before using.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of your condensed milk and blackcurrants.
Don't overbake the yogurt, or it will become too firm. The center should be slightly jiggly when done.
Garnish with fresh blackcurrants or a sprig of mint before serving for an elegant touch.
