Ingredients
Cranberry Yogurt Foam
- Ingredients
- 7 ozs lingonberry
- 3 ½ sheets red gelatin
- 9 ozs Yogurt (low-fat)
- 2 very fresh eggs
- 1 heaping Tbsp sugar (about 25 grams)
- 2 ozs Dark chocolate
- 4 Tbsps Almond slivers (about 50 grams)
Place the cranberries in a tall vessel and puree with an immersion blender.
Soak the gelatin in a bowl of cold water until softened.
Heat 2-3 tablespoons cranberry puree in a small pot. Add softened gelatin, stirring to dissolve, then stir mixture into remaining cranberry puree.
Stir yogurt into the cranberry gelatin.
Separate eggs and place whites in a tall vessel (save yolks for another use).
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form with a hand mixer, then sprinkle in the sugar while beating.
Fold beaten egg whites into the yogurt-fruit mixture. Pour into glasses and chill.
Chop chocolate coarsely and place in a bowl. Melt over a hot water bath (or in the microwave oven), stirring until smooth.
Add almonds and stir until completely coated with chocolate.
Place a piece of parchment paper on a work surface. Spread the chocolate mixture thinly into long strips on parchment with the back of a spoon and let set. Carefully remove from parchment and serve with yogurt foam.

Healthy, because
What gives the small, deep red wild berries their typical, slightly tart taste also makes them a kind of secret weapon against bladder problems: The richly contained bitter substances (tannins) act like a natural antibiotic.
Even smarter
If you don't like it quite so sweet, this dessert is just right: cranberries and dark chocolate give it a slightly tart flavour; yoghurt provides - in addition to plenty of calcium - a fine acidity.
