Yoghurt and strawberry slices home made

This is a blog on making yoghurt and strawberry slices home made. These slices are great as a small bit or canape in a party or as a dessert home. The yogurt chantilly gives a light feeling/ taste to the slice. It is then a sandwich with a biscuit base and also a strawberry jelly on top. The biscuit is soaked in a Maraschino a cherry liqueur that gives a moist and more in-depth taste. I have used wheat starch instead of rice starch in the original recipe. But do use rice flour if it suits you as it will make the recipe gluten-free. this is a great recipe to make in the summer when strawberries are available in abundance but feel free to make these slices at any time of the year.

yoghurt and strawberry  slices

The components of the yoghurt and strawberry slices are made separately then put together. this is my first attempt at making it. At first, I didn’t let it set long enough but leave it overnight in the fridge. The slices start to take shape. Try to make the biscuit base evenly as I didn’t quite do it this first time there were some uneven slices as a result. This recipe is adapted from Monterisino a celebrity chef in Italy and also many other strawberry yogurt slices recipes. This recipe makes a 20 cm cake tin with 4 cm in height.
