Yogurt And Berry Terrine with Strawberry coulis

Eidhul Adha is here!! So its pretty chaotic on the streets of Male' everyone is running or rather zooming around trying to head to the islands or resorts or abroad for Eid holidays. So for this Eid I have a very elegant dish , quite a show stopper I would say  one that took me ages to perfect. Great desert to serve  for a special occasion . I love berries, but they are sooooo expensive here in Maldives, I mean its not something you can buy every day to enjoy..  The first time I ate this  terrine was in Bandos Island Resort and the taste just left its mark on me that I finally realized maybe its really a yogurt panacotta.  After a lot of ups and downs I finally found the perfect recipe.   I made this  for my in laws once , when they came over for lunch. They love to eat ( thank god!!! I hate picky eaters)  and desert is one thing they all look forward to. So this was a nice light desert to enjoy after a heavy meal.   I bought a  berry smo...
