Greek Yoghurt Honey Parfait
Why this recipe works
- Creamy and crunchy: Thick yoghurt gives the parfait body, while toasted walnuts add a crisp, nutty finish.
- Naturally balanced: Honey sweetens the yoghurt without masking its tang, and fresh berries bring brightness.
- Ready quickly: The only cooking step is briefly toasting the walnuts, keeping the whole recipe fast and simple.

Ingredient notes
- Use thick Greek yoghurt: A strained, thick yoghurt holds clean layers better than a looser style.
- Keep the berries dry: Pat berries dry if needed so they do not thin the yoghurt or make the layers watery.
- Toast the nuts gently: Walnuts can turn bitter if over-toasted, so remove them as soon as they smell fragrant and look lightly browned.
Make-ahead tips
- Keep components separate: Store the yoghurt mixture, berries and walnuts separately, then layer just before serving.
- Toast nuts in advance: The walnuts can be toasted ahead and kept covered once cool, ready to scatter over the parfait.
Serving ideas
- Serve in clear glasses: Clear glasses show off the honey, berry and yoghurt layers, making the parfait feel more polished with no extra work.
- Finish at the last moment: Add the final drizzle of honey and walnuts just before serving for the best contrast.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, shaking the pan often, until fragrant and lightly browned. Tip onto a plate to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the greek yogurt with the vanilla extract until smooth. Taste and decide how much honey you would like in each layer.
- Layer the yogurt, honey, mixed berries, and toasted walnuts into two glasses or bowls, repeating the layers until used up. Finish with a final drizzle of honey and a scatter of walnuts, then serve straight away.
Recipe notes
Tips
- For the best texture, keep the mixed berries dry and assemble just before eating so the yogurt stays thick.
- If your honey is very thick, warm it briefly by standing the jar in hot water so it drizzles neatly.
Substitutions
- Replace walnuts with almonds for a similar crunch and a slightly sweeter, milder nut flavour.
- Replace vanilla extract with orange extract for a brighter, citrusy finish.
Storage
- Refrigerate up to 1 days
- Best assembled just before serving. If needed, keep the greek yogurt mixture and mixed berries separate in the fridge, then layer with honey and walnuts at the last moment.
