Perfect lunch or dessert
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I substituted greek yogurt and did not have to drain. I also eat for noon meal, mix with banana or apple and several peacans... for a light lunch. Read more

Words cannot describe how good this is!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

And so easy! Tastes just like an orange dreamsicle from my childhood. Be aware that draining the yogurt reduces the volume... significantly. I was making for weekend guests, and should have doubled the recipe. Definitely a keeper!Read more

The Best Yogurt
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had some friends over the other morning and I made this yogurt for them. Everyone loved it and they all asked me for the... recipe. I changed it just a little, to make it my own, but I would have to say that this is the best yogurt I have ever had!Read more

Fabulous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What a terrific recipe, and so easy to customize. I used plain, low-fat yogurt and drained it overnight. I substituted... sliced almonds for the walnuts and cut down on the amount of orange juice. The fabulous edge to this recipe is the fresh orange zest. I think you might convert non-yogurt lovers with this recipe, just as I converted my husband, who asked for seconds! Thanks, Ina, for another great dish.Read more

Best Yogurt *Ever*
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I can't rave enough about this deceptively simple but utterly delicious yogurt. Draining the yogurt overnight leaves the... yogurt much thicker and creamier--similar to Greek yogurt. The orange taste is there but not overwhelming. I didn't find it too sweet, but I could see cutting down on the honey a tad. The chewy raisins and crunchy walnuts add much needed interest. Just loved this recipe. Ina rules.Read more

Excellent! This yogurt is so good! I make it with Craisins instead of Raisins and it is awesome!
