Breakfast # 3: Yogurt Sundae

July 28, 2005 by joey 9 Comments


Are you ever in the mood for something a little festive in the mornings? I am. Sometimes a little ingenuity can go a long way…even if it just means calling your yogurt a sundae and tricking your morning-muddled brain into thinking, “Wow, isn’t this special!” That’s what I did this morning…

First a note: I love yogurt. And I will love it whether it is plain, eaten straight out of its little container, or whether it is piled with delectable add-ons and christened “Paradis Latin Yogurt Extravaganza”. I always buy it plain (Oh how I wish I could make my own! Soon…) so I start with a nice blank palette which I can embelish…or not. But some mornings (and you know which mornings those are) definitely call for some embelishment.

So, onwards…

1. Find a nice sundae-like container.
2. Put in some fruit. I used fresh pineapples, because why live in a tropical country if you can’t have fresh pineapples from your neighbor’s farm right?
3. Pour in the yogurt. Still plain store bought for me (sigh), but one day I will make my own! There have been attempts but the end-product was too sour…I think our starter was a bit persnickety.
4. Sprinkle (liberally) with your crunch factor. I used crunchy muesli, but you can use granola or nuts or a mixture of all of the above. Again this is store bought, but there are some yummy sounding granola and muesli recipes out there that I am quite excited to try.
5. Slip in something sweet and syrupy (again liberally, unless you have no sweet tooth). I used the lovely chestnut flower honey made by Agrimontana.
6. You can choose to now adorn it with some useless but charming accessory like a plastic monkey or a cocktail umbrella…but I didn’t have any.

I feeling mighty fine now, and despite the weird weather (our rainy or WET season is starting) I have the urge to proceed in flip flops and a nice tank top.

    Just can’t resist: making our own yoghurt is a project I’ve wanted to do. A friend is trying to find a way to e-mail me some ‘mother’ of the best Lebanese variant. Hay! I wonder if it will get to me in this lifetime. *impatient*

    Speaking of “mother”, we used to call our starter the “mother alien”, haha! 🙂 But the yogurt it produced was really thin and sour. Sobra siyang masungit ata. I still dream of the yogurt from Greece…which is my absolute favorite!

    Hi, Joey.

    Oooooh… Greek yoghurt! It’s been ages…

    Just another crazy suggestion from me: peach mango yoghurt parfait! Just layer sliced fruit with plain or peach/mango flavored yoghurt and top with flaked almonds. Yum! (Incidentally, since I’ve a lousy hand for making my own yoghurt, I prefer Leche Pascual‘s peach and passionfruit and apricot-mango flavors.

    Midge, thanks for the suggestion! There really is so much you can do with yogurt…we haven’t even touched on using it in cooking and baking! There’s a Turkish Yogurt Cake recipe that I want to try out…

    Hi Stef, what a coincidence! And speaking of biscuits, I have actually been thinking of baking biscuits with bacon in them…You know what they say, great minds… 🙂

    Hi Schatzli! Lucky you! In France now and living in Greece…with all the Greek yogurt you can eat 🙂 I was based in Greece for a couple a months in my previous job and I loved the food and miss it very much. I actually have visited your blog before(found the link at Market Manila) and enjoy it a lot…especially as it helps in satisfying my “Greek-cravings”. Enjoy your holidays!
