Preparation time: 30mins (+ 1 hour to strain the yoghurt)
Serves 4-6
- 2½ cups of plain natural set yoghurt
- 1½ cups of sweetened* condensed milk
- ½ cup of plump dried apricots, diced
- ¼ cup of pistachio nuts, shelled and roughly diced
- 1-1½ tbs honey
Pour the natural yoghurt into a sieve and leave this to sit covered over a bowl for at least an hour in the refrigerator. This will drain off the excess liquid in the yoghurt and leave you with a wonderfully thick and creamy mixture.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
In a large bowl combine the thickened yoghurt and the condensed milk until smooth.
Pour into a medium sized baking dish or individual ramekins and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until set. Baking time will depend on the size of the dish used so keep an eye on the cooking time.
Meanwhile in a small sauce pan; over low heat add the honey and a teaspoon or two of water. Once the honey has melted add the apricots and pistachios.
Cook over a low heat until the apricots just start to golden and the mixture becomes fragrant; 2-3 minutes.
Serve the baked yoghurt while still warm topped with the honeyed fruit and nut. Or alternatively the yohgurt can be baked ahead of time and served cold from the fridge.
Enjoy!!

Sounds really good! But I have a question: what type of condensed milk you use? Sweetened or unsweetend? Thanks :)
Hi Egle!! For this particular recipe I used sweetened but have used both in the past… *really depends on what you serve it with and how sweet your tooth is : ) I will amend the recipe though and thank you kindly for the feedback!!
What exactly is natural set yogurt? This dessert sounds really good but I don’t want to make it with improper ingredients!
Hi Jessica, glad you like the sound of the recipe!!
Natural Set Yoghurt is a smooth, creamy traditional yoghurt set naturally with cultures, usually in the tub you buy it in. That means there is no added gelatin or other setting agents and it tastes, looks and is just the way yoghurt should be.
Just check the label; a good plain natural set yoghurt should contain simply whole milk and cultures; no added gelatin, sugar, artificial colours, flavours and/or preservatives… hope this is helpful : )
I find a lot of times the most simple recipes are the best! Lovely photo.
Gorgeous photo! I will definitely try this recipe!
