Orange Yogurt With Almonds Recipe

Ingredients

Sliced blanched almonds, for garnish 

1 quart plain low-fat yogurt 

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean, scraped of seeds 

1/2 to 3/4 cup (about 1 orange) freshly squeezed orange juice 

1/4 cups honey 

Preparation

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the blanched almonds in a baking pan; bake until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Pour the yogurt into a sieve lined with a paper towel or cheesecloth, and suspend it over a bowl. Place in the refrigerator, and let drain for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Place drained yogurt in a medium bowl. Add vanilla extract or vanilla seeds, orange juice, and honey; stir to combine. If necessary, add orange juice to adjust consistency. Serve garnished with toasted almonds.
