Prep4 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients
Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Yogurt
Sweeteners and Flavorings
- 1 1/2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Cinnamon ground
Instructions
- Line a colander with a muslin cloth or cheesecloth. Place the colander over a bowl. This setup will allow the whey to drain away from the yogurt, resulting in a thicker, creamier texture.
- Pour the plain yogurt into the lined colander. Cover the yogurt with the edges of the cloth. Let the yogurt drain for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator, or preferably overnight. The longer it drains, the thicker and creamier the Misti Doi will become.
- Once the yogurt has drained, transfer the thickened yogurt (hung curd) to a mixing bowl. Add the honey, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- Whisk the mixture thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Ensure the sweeteners and spices are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
- Refrigerate the Misti Doi for at least 3-4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill completely. For the best results, chill overnight.
