What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For maximum creaminess, strain Greek yogurt through cheesecloth overnight before using.
- 2Toast the almonds and pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 2 minutes to deepen their nutty flavor.
- 3If berries are tart, let the assembled bowl rest the full 5 minutes so honey and berry juices meld.
- 4Swap in frozen berries in winter; thaw and drain excess liquid to avoid watering down the yogurt.
- 5Make the honey-vanilla yogurt base up to 2 days ahead and store covered in the fridge.
- 6Use a slotted spoon to add berries so any excess moisture stays behind in the colander.
