The simplest pudding on the planet

I am almost embarrassed to suggest this here, it's so simple -- but off we go.

P.J.'s yoghurt pudding.

Had in childhood from the kitchen of my beloved auntie Pat, never forgotten, often wanted.

Take a large and pretty bowl. Preferably glass. Cover the bottom with a thick layer of soft brown sugar. It has to be soft brown or it won't work. Now, put on top two large pots of the best Greek yoghurt you can find. Smooth off the top and scatter flaked toasted almonds on it. Chill until it's, well, chilled. And your bowl should, ideally, look like it's generously filled.

To serve, make sure you scoop up a generous helping from bottom to top of bowl, so that everyone gets the cold, fudgy-brown sugar from the bottom, the creamy yoghurt and the crunch of the almonds.
