Froyo barks are my favourite summer dessert. And these Mango Yoghurt or Aamrakhand FroYo barks are the most perfect ones I have made.
I will start by claiming something that this Aamrakhand FroYo barks might be the best dessert you will make this summer.
Shrikhand is a dessert that is loved by all and is safe to say that it is one of the oldest desserts that existed and is authentic to India.
India’s experimentation with curd dates back to almost 400 BC. From raitas, pachadis, kadhis, mor kuzhambu to mishti doi. Dahi/curd has always been a staple in the Indian diet. So when it is in the form of sweetened, hung curd flavoured with cardamom and saffron and a few nuts, what’s not to love about it.
The Western part of India loves their sweetened dahi as much as their Eastern counterparts. Adding a mango to the twist only shoots up the dish to a new level. Aamrakhand is usually served with pooris in Maharashtra.
On the other hand frozen yogurt is a rage in the West. So why not bring both together and create a new dessert- Aamrakhand fro-yo barks.
It is very simple, first you make the aamrakhand by mixing mango puree with hung curd. Then spread it out on a tray, lined with parchment paper, top it with chopped pistachios and freeze overnight. Next day break it up and serve as an after lunch dessert. Preferably keep it frozen as it melts very quickly but can be still enjoyed as it is shrikhand afterall.
If you make these Aamrakhand FroYo barks, do share a picture with me on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook? I would love to hear what you have to say about it.
