Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 6 pieces Dried figs
- 4 pieces Medjool dates
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the fig and date compote: Roughly chop the dried figs and dates into small pieces and place them in a small saucepan.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of honey, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan.
3. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the figs and dates soften and the liquid thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes.

5. Assemble the dish: Divide 2 cups of Greek yogurt evenly between two bowls or serving glasses.
6. Spoon the honey fig date compote over the yogurt, swirling it gently with the back of a spoon to create a beautiful marbled effect.
7. Optional: Drizzle additional honey on top or garnish with fresh figs, nuts, or granola for extra texture.
