Quick yogurt, honey and nut cups: dessert in 10 minutes

Ingredients (2 cups)

• 250 g plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts)
• 1 tablespoon seeds (chia or sesame, optional)
• 1 piece of fruit (apple, pear, or berries)
• Cinnamon or cocoa powder (optional)

Method

1. Roughly chop the nuts and toast them for 2 minutes in a dry pan (optional).
2. Stir the yogurt with 1 tablespoon of honey and a pinch of cinnamon if you like.
3. Dice the fruit into small pieces.
4. Layer yogurt, fruit, and nuts in two cups.
5. Finish with the remaining honey and a dusting of cocoa or cinnamon.

Why it works

Greek yogurt brings creaminess and protein, honey adds natural sweetness, and nuts give a satisfying crunch. It is simple but balanced.

Greek vs regular yogurt

Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier. If you only have regular yogurt, drain it for a few minutes in a strainer to thicken it up.

Sweetness without sugar

Honey is usually enough, especially if the fruit is ripe. You can also use maple syrup or a spoon of jam mixed into the yogurt.

Texture: crunchy or soft

For a softer texture, skip toasting the nuts or swap them for oats. For extra crunch, add crushed cookies or granola.

Quick variations

• Chocolate style: mix 1 teaspoon cocoa into the yogurt.
• Citrus twist: add lemon or orange zest.
• Extra indulgent: add a spoon of hazelnut spread on top.

Meal prep tip

You can flavor the yogurt in advance and store fruit and nuts separately. Assemble just before eating to keep the crunch.

Common mistake

Avoid watery fruit like watermelon. It releases too much liquid and makes the cup runny.
