What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Choose kiwis that yield slightly to gentle pressure for peak sweetness and texture.
- 2For clean kiwi slices, use a serrated knife to cut through the skin without bruising the flesh.
- 3If making ahead, store the honey-sweetened yogurt separately and add kiwi just before serving.
- 4Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes to deepen their nutty flavor.
- 5Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier bowl that holds up better against juicy kiwi.
- 6Layer yogurt and kiwi in a clear glass to create an attractive parfait presentation.
