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 holds up well against juicy fruits.
- 2Chill the serving bowls for 10 minutes before assembling to keep the yogurt cold and prevent the fruit from weeping.
- 3For the best flavor, make sure the banana is speckled with brown spots — it adds natural sweetness without extra honey.
- 4Toss the chopped apple in a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning and add a subtle bright note.
- 5If you prefer a thicker yogurt, drain it through a muslin cloth over a bowl in the fridge for 2 hours.
- 6You can make the fruit mix ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge, but add the honey just before serving.
Adapt it for your goals.
