Date & Fruit Ingredients for Dairy and Yogurt
Date can lead the flavour of a yogurt or sit alongside another fruit. The decision between a stirred product, a separate fruit layer and a drinkable format changes the ingredient brief. Start with the base and the desired eating experience, then evaluate the date component within the complete recipe.
