Apricot Heaven
Delicious and decadent, in a healthy sort of way! This lovely dessert looks beautiful in a crystal or glass serving dish, when the different layers look very striking. The quantities here serve four (in a dish measuring about 4.75 or 12 cm in diameter
Steps
Squeeze the orange to extract its juice.
Put the dried apricots into a small saucepan with the orange juice and water , bring it to the boil then simmer with a lid on for 10 minutes , adding the grand marnier towards the end of the cooking time.
When the fruit is tender , puree the apricot mixture.
Taste it , and add a splash more grand marnier if you wish.
You should have a thick puree.
Leave the apricot mixture to cool , then spread it neatly in a small glass serving dish.
Spread the yoghurt evenly on top , making sure that all of the apricot mixture is covered.
In a small bowl , mix the cinnamon and brown sugar , breaking up any lumps , then sprinkle this mixture evenly and thickly over the yoghurt so that the whole surface is covered.
Place in the fridge for at least three hours , until ready to serve.
The cinnamon-sugar dissolves into the surface of the yoghurt , creating a gorgeous dark syrup.
