Notes
- If you are using regular yogurt, you will need to make hung curd. Place yogurt in a muslin cloth covering a sieve and set it over a bowl. Store in the refrigerator overnight. This way, you will get very thick hung curd to make shrikhand.
- Add your favorite fruit purée made with berries or mangoes to make fruity shrikhand
- Stir in plenty of chopped nuts if you like
- For sugar free dessert, replace sugar with honey and maple syrup
- You can make this a day ahead and store in the refrigerator
