Subject: yogurt coating recipe
Hi,
I've been looking for a recipe/ingredients to make the yogurt
coating on commercial products such as yogurt covered raisins
or yogurt covered pretzels. I've looked for months now with no
luck. Any chance you could help? Thanks, Cindy
Hi Cindy,
First, understand that you can't make those shiny, individual yogurt-coated
raisins at home. Those are made in a special commercial machine that tumbles
the raisins or pretzels as it sprays them with the coating, sort of like
the ones they use to make M&M's. You can't do that at home. You can, however,
make yogurt-coated clumps of raisins. You can make individual yogurt -dipped
pretzels, since they are bigger, but they still won't be shiny like the ones in
the store. See below for two coating recipes.
Phaed
Yogurt Raisin Clusters:
1 package (3-ounce) regular cream cheese, softened;
1 pound (about 5 cups) sifted confectioners' sugar;
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
2 cups raisins
Combine cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, yogurt, and vanilla
in the top of a double boiler. Place over boiling water and blend
until lukewarm and smooth. Add the white chocolate chips and continue
stirring until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Quickly
stir in raisins. Remove top of double boiler from over hot water and
drop mixture by spoonfuls onto wax paper-lined baking sheets. If mixture
becomes too thick to handle easily, replace over hot water and stir
until desired consistency. Let stand until set. Store between sheets of
wax paper in airtight container. Makes 48 clusters (about 2 pounds).
-----------------------------------------
Yogurt Coated Raisins
You can use this for other dried fruits, pretzels and nuts!
Ingredients:
2 c. raisins
8 oz. yogurt cream cheese**
1/4 c. butter
6 c. powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Place raisins in a steamer basket or strainer. Place
over boiling water, but not touching it. Steam, covered for 5
minutes. Combine yogurt cream cheese and butter in heavy bottomed
saucepan. Stir over low heat until butter is melted, cheese is
soft and mixture is well combined. Transfer to large bowl of
mixer. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until frosting
is thick and creamy but not dry. Add vanilla. Stir in raisins
gently. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let dry,
uncovered for 4 hours or overnight. Makes 3 1/3 to 4 dozen
clusters.
**Yogurt Cream Cheese
Use as you would cream cheese or mascarpone cheese. Very spreadable
and can be very low fat.
Ingredients:
1 quart plain yogurt, (Whole milk or low fat)
Preparation:
Line a large strainer or colander with cheese cloth. Place the strainer
or colander over a bowl and then place the yogurt in the strainer and
let drain overnight.
Cover the bowl and strainer with plastic wrap so nothing will accidently
drop into the draining yogurt.
After 12 hours, take the cheese cloth and very gently squeeze any
remaining moisture out of the cheese.
Empty the whey from the bowl and let stand another 8 hours. Place your
cheese in a clean container and your yogurt cheese is ready to use.
Yield: 6 servings

Dear Phaed,
It's Nita here -- I got the recipe from the soul food group I joined to get
their slant on food. It was a "post" by Rose.
Sounds a lot like the great Eggplant Casserole we used to get in Memphis at
The Cupboard Restaurant in Midtown on Union Avenue that is now closed, I
believe. There is a place listed in Memphis called The Cupboard Too downtown
on Madison Ave.. Not sure it is connected in any way.
The Wyatt's Cafeteria Eggplant Dressing has bell pepper and celery in it. The
Cupboard in Memphis did not have bell pepper in it and if there was any
celery in it, it was a minute amount. It was more of a souffle. Had eggplant,
eggs, onion, cheese -- Saltine crackers, bread or cornbread was NOT dominant
in it at all.
I worked up a recipe for it that is as near as I can get.
Eggplant Souffle ala Nita
Cupboard Restaurant Style, Memphis, TN
2 quart casserole dish, buttered
1 medium eggplant, peeled and cubed
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
2 or more Tblsp table salt
ice
1/2 to 3/4 cups saltine crackers, crushed or fresh unseasoned bread crumbs
2 T butter of SOFT margarine, melted
1/2 cup sweet milk or Half & Half
2 rounded T granulated sugar (to cut any bitterness)
1 tsp table salt
3 large fresh eggs, beaten lightly
6 ounces grated Kraft Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Paprika
Pick a shiny young eggplant. Peel it and cut it into cubes. Immediately place
it in a mixing bowl and toss it with the lemon juice to prevent darkening.
Sprinkle heavily with the salt and cover it with ice. Place something heavy
on it to weight it down in the bowl. Place it in the refrigerator for 20 to
30 minutes.
When it is ready, turn the oven on to 375 degrees fht..
Remove the eggplant from the refrigerator and drain the liquid off the
eggplant and rinse it once with water. Drain it again, but don't press liquid
out.
Add the crackers or bread crumbs and butter and mix in. Add milk, sugar,
salt, combining well. Finally add the beaten eggs, mixing well.
Pour it into the prepared casserole dish and place it on a rack in the center
of the oven. Allow to bake about 40 minutes or until beginning to brown
lightly on top. (Toothpick should come out clean when stuck in the center.)
Sprinkle with the grated cheese and top with some paprika sprinkled on top.
Return the casserole to the oven to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly.
Serve hot! Enjoy!
Nita
Thanks, Nita!
