What to keep in mind.
7 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For the creamiest texture, always use full-fat Greek yogurt rather than nonfat or low-fat versions.
- 2Pat berries completely dry after washing so they don't water down the yogurt.
- 3Add granola just before serving to keep it crisply crunchy instead of soggy.
- 4Let the sweetened yogurt sit for 5 minutes before layering to let the honey fully meld.
- 5Use a mix of ripe but firm berries so every spoonful has a contrast of textures.
- 6Make ahead by prepping the fruit and honey-yogurt separately, then assemble just before eating.
- 7For extra richness, swirl in a spoonful of jam or tahini before adding the berries.
