Shrikhand is a traditional Maharashtrian Dessert prepared with hung yoghurt. It is a very easy dessert that can be made in no time if the hung yoghurt is ready. It is usually flavored with saffron and cardamom powder for the original version. However, you can make it a bit healthy and appetizing by adding any fruit of your choice.
So, check out my version of this yummy Black Cherry Shrikhand, where I used some low fat yoghurt along with the fruit puree. It makes for a perfect summer treat.
Be sure to have this visually appealing dessert chilled for a divine experience. I simply love to dig into this melt-in-the-mouth delicacy. If you are a fan of any fruit based shrikhand, you will simply love this dessert.
It is perfect for any festive occasion and is a great party recipe too. You can also relish it as an after-meal dessert. Garnish as desired and Voila!! You have a yummy and a fuss-free healthy dessert in a jiffy. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this sweet indulgence.
