Hi, Catbrad. The health level of this recipe is “5” (best).
What is the health level of this dessert?
Hi, LisaCC. The yogurt is plain unless otherwise specified.
When recipes ask for greek yogurt, is that plain or in some cases can you use vanilla?
Hi, PamnNeil. Substituting ingredients depends on what is available to you in place of what is in the recipe. To what were you specifically referring here?
Hi, JohnWade. The recipe has been reworded slightly for clarity. Thanks for your input!
although it didn’t set up well (I will use more gelatin next time) this was a very nice treat. I didn’t have orange or lemon zest, so had to use extracts, but taste was still good.
Orange juice, is it used? 7tsp Lemon or 2 Lemons, how do you sqeeze a lemon over teaspoons, it is 1/4 cuo minue 1 teaspoon. I am sorry but being a cook I understand how it is done but do you really think everyone has that knowledge?
Cardomom how much?
When do you put in the juice????
what is cardamom?
what happens when you change a little the recipe? or if you cant find ingredients?
