What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For an enhanced nutty flavor, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool before adding.
- 2Use full-fat (5% or 10%) Greek yogurt for the richest flavor and creamiest texture, which is more traditional.
- 3If using frozen berries, you can add them directly to the yogurt for a colder, thicker consistency, similar to frozen yogurt.
- 4A pinch of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract mixed into the yogurt can add a lovely warmth and depth of flavor.
- 5For a grab-and-go option, layer the ingredients in a mason jar. Add walnuts and honey just before eating to keep them crunchy.
