Notes:
Feel free to substitute caster sugar for Naturally Sweet XylitolIf wish a healthier dessert, make sure your yogurt does not contain any sugar, fruit or natural added sugar as it is still sugar
For smoother consistency, I used hot water on the back of a spoon to remove any air bubbles and made the surface smooth for consistent baking.
