Not to tell my SIL she ate half a cup of yoghurt?

I love hosting family gatherings and often do so. My SIL is vegan and I don't mind taking extra care for her dinner, not hard work anyway.

Twice a year I boil two kg of chickpeas and make hummous, most of it with yoghurt to make it low fat, and some with tahini. Then I freeze it in small portions, sometimes for us and I often serve it at dinner parties.

You canobviously see where this is going, last weekend I served SIL what I thought was vetgan tahini, and this morning I went to the freezer to get some of the yoghurt kind but it was all gone... I have no idea how I mixed it up. I also now remember her going more than once "your hunnous is really yummy tonight, you should give me the new recipe". I said there's no new recipe and she insisted "no, I know your hunnous, it's always good but you've done something special to it tonight".

It all makes sense now... I think I shouldn't tell her... I mean, what's the point? Sad

AIBU?

Twilight, how long does it keep in the freezer? I love hummous but can never eat it before it goes bad and the pre-made stuff at the supermarkets is very expensive for the amount you get!

Thanks for the recipe also!

I make a batch before Christmas and another just before the summer for BBQ's and stuff, it keeps just fine for 6 months or so, I don't know how long it can actually keep for.

Must note to be more careful in the future. It's just one of these things that you're certain you got right, until you realise you hadn't Blush

Silver1 - no, it's not the same thing at all. You are being smug about tricking her, Twilight is upset to have made a mistake. Not the same thing at all.

NoHunIntended: The reason for using yoghurt in that recipe is to make it low fat - tahini is ridiculously high in fat. I've just put some chick peas in to soak to try making it myself since I love hummous and it's really healthy except for the high fat content.
