Chocolate Shrikhand

                                                     

Ingredients: 

Curd - 3 cups (hung in a muslin cloth for 4 to 5 hours)
Brown sugar - Half cup
Chocolate chips - 2 tablespoons (optional)
Ripe dates - 8/10 (deseeded and chopped)
Chocolate powder - (cocoa, drinking chocolate or bournvita will do) - 1 cup
Chopped cashew - 2 tablespoons

Method :

• In a bowl,mix chocolate powder and brown sugar with the hung curd with the help of a fork. The mixture should be smooth,without any lump in it. Now add the chocolate chips (if using), cashew and chopped cashew to this mixture. 
• 
  
• Serve chilled.
• I have garnished with a few pieces of ripe mango...which you can easily omit ,if you prefer so. 
• This is another variation of the traditional shrikhand,which is easy to make and is very tasty and nutritious. Good for the calorie concious,because not much extra sugar is added to it. 
• Enjoy :)
