Ingredients

  • 400 gGreek yogurt
  • 2 cupsseasonal fruit
  • 2 tbsphoney
  • handfulpistachios or almonds

Method

  1. Begin by washing and preparing 2 cups of seasonal fruit. Choose fruits that are ripe and fragrant, such as berries, peaches, or figs. Cut larger fruits into bite-sized pieces to ensure they mix well with the yogurt.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 400 g of Greek yogurt. Use a spoon to stir the yogurt gently until it is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps. This will create a consistent base for your dish.
  3. Gently fold the prepared fruit into the yogurt using a spatula. Be careful not to crush the fruit, especially if using delicate berries, as you want to maintain their shape and texture. The fruit should be evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
  4. Transfer the yogurt and fruit mixture into individual serving bowls or a larger serving dish. Allow it to sit for a few minutes at room temperature so the flavors can meld together and the yogurt can slightly soften.
  5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the top of the yogurt and fruit. The honey should create a thin, glossy layer that enhances the natural sweetness of the fruit without overpowering it.
  6. Roughly chop a handful of pistachios or almonds and sprinkle them over the dish. The nuts should add a crunchy texture and a nutty aroma that complements the creamy yogurt and sweet fruit.
  7. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and contrasting textures. This dish is best enjoyed fresh, with the yogurt still cool and the fruit vibrant and juicy.
