  • 受到我的客人餐后的猪肉和其他r filling items. I can't imagine this working with anything other than zero fat Greek yogurt. I did sub regular minced ginger for crystallized ginger, but I only used about 2 T., and didn't find it overpowering. I liked this but was a little disappointed that the carmel gets so hard at the end. I would have enjoyed a softer caramel.

  • This is wonderful, and is now a staple of our brunches. It is easy to make and delicious. When I made it today I had, for the first time, some trouble with the caramel  I think it's important to wait to make sure the sugar is mostly dissolved before raising the heat. I've never had trouble with the yogurt separating, as other reviewers mentioned.

  • 1 - Make sure you choose a familiar brand of yogurt (the organic variety I used separated big time. 2 - mince the ginger up as finely as you possibly can, and use way less or it becomes hot, medicinal and overpowering (maybe my candied ginger was extra fresh and hot) 3 - combination of textures is lovely: creamy yogurt, soft nubbly berries and hard crunchy shards of caramel. This is worth trying again with less ginger and a non- separating yogurt.

  • The yogurt was outstanding! I was looking for something to serve with macerated fruit and granola at brunch and this was much better than expected. I added some honey and ginger syrup to the yogurt, but it was also fine without. It is especially good with white peaches.

  • I didn't have access to good quality yogurt, much less Greek- style, so I substituted vanilla pudding. Although the result was, no doubt, entirely different in flavor from the original recipe, it was deemed outstanding by my dinner companions.

  • Splendid. Super easy and pleasing to both adults and children (because of the 'candy' content!). My ginger did not flavour the yogurt very well - probably a bit old. I strained out the ginger pieces for those who would not like the texture. I will make this often for brunches or a summer dessert.
