Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
- 100 grams Honey
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 50 grams Pistachios (shelled, roughly chopped)
- 50 grams Almonds (sliced or slivers)
- 80 grams Dried apricots (chopped finely)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Line a 9x9 inch (22x22 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, allowing extra paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and fully combined.
Spread the yogurt mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios, sliced almonds, and dried apricots evenly over the yogurt layer, lightly pressing them down so they adhere.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Once frozen, lift the dessert out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Cut into 8 even bars or squares, depending on your preference. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
Optional: Drizzle additional honey on top before serving for extra sweetness and presentation.
