My traybake recipe to kick you off on The Pink Whisk Challenge for November – Apple & Sultana Flapjack with yoghurty topping – I have to admit that this recipe is more about the topping than it is the flapjack!
I’ve been working for ages trying to get a yoghurt type coating that tastes great and works well, although it is a fairly soft set topping, not rock hard, it is absolutely delicious!
You will need:
1 x batch of basic Flapjack recipe here.
60g dried apple, chopped
50g sultanas
Topping:
200g white chocolate
100ml natural yoghurt
When the flapjack has been made in the pan, following the instructions here, stir through the chopped dried apple and the sultanas.
Add the flapjack mixture to a lined tin (approx 20 x 20cm) and level.
Bake in the oven at 160c (fan)/180c/Gas Mark 4 for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully in the tin.
For the topping, melt the white chocolate in a bowl, either in the microwave in short bursts or in the bowl above a pan of hot water.
Stir through the natural yoghurt and pour the mixture over the top of the cooled flapjack.
Place in the fridge for the topping to set.
Cut into slices and serve. A perfect traybake for any kind of bake sale!
Apple & Sultana Flapjack with Yoghurty Topping

Ruth, I really like the topping idea!! My mind’s gone into overdrive now- where else would it work?

That looks delicious, I really fancy making it. Only trouble is, daughter can’t eat chocolate, any brainwaves as to what else I could mix with yoghurt so it would set? Thanks
You could try making a thick icing with yoghurt instead of water, perhaps even try royal icing and then it should set nicely for you! Xx
this looks lovely. I like the way you get such straight edges on your flapjacks…mine are usually more rustic looking!
These look fantastic – have always wondered how to attempt a yoghurt topping – will be giving them a whirl next week!
Made them and they were devoured very quickly. The icing is absolutely lovely!
These are so scrummy – I made a batch and they were very easy to do but I had a heart-stopping moment when I made the icing and it went into a hard lump when I added the yoghurt to the warm chocolate but I just beat it vigourously and it went smooth again – phew! I shall make them at Christmas and put cranberries in instead of the sultanas for a festive feel! Thanks Ruth for another fab recipe!
Wow! These look incredible!
