Baked yogurt or bhapa doi is a traditional Bengali dessert very easy to prepare with curd and condensed milk.In olden days this mixture used to be steamed due to the absence of oven .Now you can do the steaming process in the oven itself by filling the tray with water and baking the mixture .The result is a thick set pudding ,sweet and slight tangy , creamy and very versatile.You can make a enormous number of varieties from these. in spite of being so easy to prepare I haven’t tried my hands on these until I had a home dining meal ,where the diner wanted baked yogurt as a dessert .I prepared vanilla flavored baked yogurt before hand in small muffin cups and they were very much liked by every diner.I decided to take my creativity a level further and prepared this cake by filling baked yogurt on a crispy oats base and the result was more than overwhelming.This is a cheesecake without cheese and can be relished by people who are looking for a low calorie option and devour on cheesecake.
