Hujra Delicious Dessert
http://trisporttrophies.com/cooking-news/quisque-tristique-ac-sapien-eu-tempor My “baby”, Jake (aka Jakey Boy) recently had his 27th birthday. If he didn’t physically resemble our family so much most people would think he had a different mother and father. You see, he doesn’t like chocolate or anything sweet for that matter. This is not because of health or diet reasons; quite the contrary. He simply doesn’t yearn for sweet things – he rarely, if ever, orders dessert. He’s more of a savory kind of guy, and a foodie in the truest sense of the word.
So I was perplexed about what to make for his recent birthday. Cake? Pie? Crisp?? His sister came to the rescue and sent me a dessert idea that her college roommate Elan made in New York when she visited a year ago. Elan, like me, invents all kinds of food items, and this dessert was genius. Thankfully Rachel emailed him and Elan responded quickly, so I had time to get the mango sorbet. The rest of the ingredients I happened to already have on hand.
This is an easy and simple dessert to throw together to end a meal. The combination of sweet, salty, fruity, crunchy, weird and ordinary all came together and pleased my Jakey Boy. I’ll be making this again for foodie friends.
Note – I’ve included approximately amounts for each ingredient – this is for one serving.
Jakey Boy Dessert
Ingredients:
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt, I like at least 2% for this purpose
- 1-2 Tbsp ball of mango sorbet
- ½ tsp fruity olive oil
- ½ tsp honey
- A few hazelnuts (Uwajamaya in Seattle had them already toasted!)
- 1 pinch fancy sea salt
Instructions:
Chop hazelnuts not so finely and then toast them in a dry pan (NOTE: you could start with chopped, toasted hazelnuts.)
Portion yogurt in serving dishes.
Scoop sorbet on top of yogurt.
Sprinkle hazelnuts on yogurt/sorbet.
Drizzle honey and olive oil somewhat generously over the yogurt, sorbet, hazelnut.
Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the whole thing.
PS: I think fresh mango slices would be lovely if you want to sub out the sorbet.
