Yogurt Dessert

When I was in high school, one day they had free yogurt in the lunch room. None of us had ever heard of the stuff. But with fruit at the bottom and some sugar mixed in it was a hit.

Now we are used to it but this recipe is simple and so tasty.

1/2 cup plain yogurt (see note)
1Tbsp sweetened condensed milk (we used to call it Eagle Brand Milk)

Stir thoroughly and eat.

The yogurt I use makes this work. The brand name is Arz. The ingredient list tells the story: whole milk, skim milk and cream. These are the first three listed.

I suspect other brands would work. But none of this "low fat" stuff. If you want half the fat, eat half as much.

Any can of sweetened condensed mild will probably be fine.
