Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250g) full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Greek honey (or any good-quality honey)
  • 1/4 cup walnut halves or pieces (lightly toasted, optional)
  • Optional: a pinch of ground cinnamon

Introduction

This classic Greek dessert is the ultimate expression of simplicity and balance. Rich, creamy Greek yogurt is paired with floral honey and crunchy walnuts for a wholesome treat that’s both satisfying and nutritious. Served as a dessert, breakfast, or snack, it’s a timeless staple in Greek households.

Instructions

1. (Optional) Toast the walnuts:

    • Place walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast for 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Let cool.

2. Portion the yogurt:

    • Divide the Greek yogurt evenly into two serving bowls or glasses.

3. Add toppings:

    • Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over each portion.

4. Finish with crunch:

    • Sprinkle the toasted walnuts on top. Add a pinch of cinnamon if desired.

5. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • For a lighter version: Use 2% Greek yogurt instead of full-fat.
  • Add fruit: Sliced figs, berries, or banana make great additions.
  • Use local honey: Greek thyme or orange blossom honey gives incredible flavour.
  • Make it ahead: You can prep the yogurt in advance but add walnuts just before serving to keep them crunchy.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve in a glass for an elegant touch if using for dinner parties or events.
