Ingredients

3 cups plain yogurt
¼-⅓ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
12 tartlet shells
Berries for serving (I have used blueberries and raspberries)

Instructions

Make the shrikhand:

Place a muslin cloth on a sieve and place the sieve on top of a large bowl.
Pour the yogurt on the muslin cloth. Bring the edges of the cloth together.
Let it sit for 1-2 hours so that the whey drains out. Gently squeeze out any remaining liquid from the yogurt.
Once the yogurt thickens, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Add ground cardamom and ¼ cup of powdered sugar. Mix well, making sure there are no lumps. Check and adjust sugar as needed.

Make shrikhand tarts:

Fill the shrikhand in the tart shells.
Top with berries of your choice.
Chill for 1-2 hours before serving.

Notes

Straining the yogurt: To achieve a creamy and smooth shrikhand filling, it is important to strain the yogurt before using it. Place the yogurt in a cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve lined with a coffee filter, and let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours. This will remove excess moisture and result in a thicker consistency.

Adjusting sweetness: The sweetness levels of the shrikhand filling can vary based on personal preference. Taste the filling before filling the tart shells and adjust the amount of powdered sugar according to your taste.

Serving shrikhand tart: It is best to serve the mini shrikhand tarts chilled. Allow them to refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the filling to set.
