Deep Dark Salted Butter Caramel Eggless Yogurt Cheesecakes Deep Dark Salted Butter Caramel Eggless Yogurt Cheesecakes … an attempt to create memories on demand! “Make me some memories!“,  she commanded as she passed the bag around for a lucky dip at her farewell dinner. There is only one who could do fun and creative stuff like this. Ruchira!

I was suspicious; thought I might pick out a crab or something. The girl has a keen sense of humour. As usual, she surprised me. I was the privileged first to dip into the bag and I got a beautiful white platter with eye catching black artwork on it. I had seen it and admired it on her blog not a long time ago.

Deep Dark Salted Butter Caramel Eggless Yogurt Cheesecakes Thats what makes her special. Ruchira is different. She has a knack to make everyone happy, never rubs anyone the wrong way, is always in the middle of happening stuff, and is always ready with good advice.

Deep Dark Salted Butter Caramel Eggless Yogurt Cheesecakes How could it be difficult to create memories for someone so special. That she has left the country to follow her better half to a foreign posting left a lot of us with sad feelings. Yet, we know that wherever she goes , she will leave an indelible mark. She is uber talented, a walking food encyclopedia, the heart of a gathering, someone who has the lone capability of pulling everyone, including sworn enemies in …

Deep Dark Salted Butter Caramel Eggless Yogurt Cheesecakes Just baking these little Deep Dark Salted Butter Caramel Eggless Yogurt Cheesecakes made me happy. I had memories attached to every little ingredient, a connect at ever step. She loves steamed yogurt. So I thought I’d bake something I’ve baked a lot of of late … a yogurt tart.

Deep Dark Salted Butter Caramel Eggless Yogurt Cheesecakes It had to have caramel in it; thats her fave ingredient. For inspiration I turned to Smitten Kitchen. Ruchira loves Smitten Kitchen. With a passion. A deep passion. I do too, but nothing to beat hers. That recipe of Deep, Dark Salted Butter Caramel Sauce is a winner. So is the post. It places you in the lap of Paris, within sniffing distance of Le Beurre Bordier, a French salted butter.

Deep Dark Salted Butter Caramel Eggless Yogurt Cheesecakes The sniffs were very virtual of course, so in went a local salted butter. The caramel was allowed to get deep & dark as instructed; the end result finger licking good. I could see memories being woven. It was sugar high time as I licked the bowl clean after pouring the caramel into a jug. Then came the filling. I love condensed milk. More sweet. Next, the bittersweet ganache. More YUM! Must have been the breakfast I had skipped {tch tch}, but it left me sweetly satisfied!

Deep Dark Salted Butter Caramel Eggless Yogurt Cheesecakes These are indulgent little desserts. I think one can easily be shared between two. They are rich, deeply flavoured and oh so satisfying. Even better, they’re a great make ahead baked vegetarian dessert option. Sinfully good! As I recently said, I’ve been using a load of tinned condensed milk of late!
