Toast the walnuts.
Place the chopped walnuts in a small dry pan over low heat. Toast for 1-2 minutes, shaking the pan often, until they smell nutty and turn lightly golden. Transfer to a plate to cool.
TIPWatch closely — walnuts burn quickly. The moment you smell them, they're done. - mix · ~1 min
Whisk the yogurt.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the chilled yogurt with a tiny pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. The salt brightens the sweetness without making it salty.
- assemble · ~1 min
Layer the yogurt bowl.
Divide the whisked yogurt between two serving bowls. Scatter the fresh mulberries and cooled toasted walnuts on top. Drizzle with honey.
TIPFor a prettier look, save a few mulberries and walnuts to sprinkle on after the honey. - serve
Serve immediately.
Enjoy right away while the walnuts are still crunchy and the yogurt is cold.
What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use full-fat Greek-style yogurt for a creamier, more luscious texture that balances the tart mulberries.
- 2Toast walnuts in a dry pan over low heat just until fragrant — about 2 minutes — to avoid bitterness.
- 3Wash mulberries gently and pat dry thoroughly to prevent excess water from thinning the yogurt.
- 4Add a tiny pinch of salt to the yogurt; it amplifies sweetness without tasting salty.
- 5Assemble just before serving to keep the toasted walnuts crunchy and the yogurt cold.
- 6For extra sweetness, swap honey with maple syrup or a sprinkle of jaggery powder for a traditional Indian twist.

Replace yogurt with a thick coconut or almond-based yogurt, and use agave syrup instead of honey. The creamy base still pairs beautifully with tart mulberries and crunchy walnuts.
