Things You'll Need:
- double boiler
- tongs or dipping fork
- waxed paper or cookie racks
- 250 gram pkg cream cheese
- 5 cups icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
-
Step 1
Soften cream cheese and place it in the top pot of the double boiler and add the icing sugar and yogurt. Put just enough water in the bottom of the double boiler that it won't touch the underside of the top pot, and bring the water to a gentle boil.
-
Step 2
Put the top pot in place and stir gently and continuously until the cream cheese mixture is melted and well blended. Stir in the vanilla. Turn the heat off, but leave the double boiler on the burner so the water remains hot but not boiling.
-
Step 3
With tongs or a dipping fork, pick up one piece at a time of the dried fruit, nuts or candy that you want to coat, and dip them in the melted mixture. Place them on wax-paper lined cookie sheets, or on wire cookie cooling racks.
-
Step 4
Once the yogurt coated pieces are cool and dry, store them between layers of waxed paper in covered tupperware-type containers.

on 5/27/2008 This is great!!! I don't know why it never occurred to me to try this at home. I can't wait to give it a go! I wonder what would happen if you used vanilla yogurt, which I already have on hand . . .

on 10/22/2007 Thanks for the recipe! I made no-bake muesli bars, and pured the yogurt mixture over the top. Haven't tried them yet, but it looks good!

on 10/4/2007 Hello again--I re-read the recipe and see when the yogurt goes in. I'm used to listing the ingredients in order of use, so I got confused! Sorry.
