Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Mandarin oranges (canned, drained or fresh, peeled and segmented)
- 500 grams Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 100 grams Granola (your choice, plain or flavored)
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pistachios)
- 2 tablespoons Desiccated coconut (optional, for garnish)
- 4 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and honey. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
In serving glasses or bowls, start by adding a layer of granola (approximately 2 tablespoons per glass).
Top the granola layer with a generous layer of the yogurt and honey mixture (about 3-4 tablespoons per layer).
Add a layer of mandarin orange segments, spreading them evenly over the yogurt.
Repeat the layers—granola, yogurt mixture, and mandarin oranges—until the glasses are filled or all ingredients are used. Finish with a layer of granola on top.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts and desiccated coconut (if using) over the top layer of granola for a crunchy finish.
Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh mint for an elegant touch.
Serve immediately for maximum crunch or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if serving later. Note: The granola may lose some of its crunch if left for too long.
