diabetic Creamy 4-Yogurt Delight

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 4 containers (125g each) plain unsweetened Greek yogurt (total 500g or 2 cups)
• 8 oz (250g) mascarpone cheese or cream cheese
• 1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 170°C (340°F). This moderate temperature will ensure our dessert cooks evenly without browning too quickly.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a 9-inch (23cm) baking pan with parchment paper. This will make it easy to remove the dessert once it’s cooled.
3. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 1 minute with an electric mixer or 2 minutes by hand. The air incorporated during this step will help give the dessert a light texture.
4. Add Flavor and Texture: Grate the lemon zest directly into the egg mixture. The lemon zest adds a bright, fresh flavor that complements the creamy yogurt beautifully.
5. Incorporate the Yogurt: Add all four containers of Greek yogurt to the bowl. The yogurt is the star of this dish, providing both structure and a tangy flavor.
6. Add Richness: Mix in the mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese if you’re using that instead). This adds an extra layer of creaminess and richness to the dessert.
7. Thicken the Mixture: Sprinkle the cornstarch over the mixture. The cornstarch will help thicken the dessert as it bakes, giving it a custard-like consistency.
8. Final Mix: Using a whisk or electric mixer, blend all the ingredients together until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. This should only take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
9. Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully lift it out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
