Healthy Fig Dessert

Enjoy figs with the sweetness of honey and the tang of Greek yoghurt in this light, refreshing dessert. Almonds add crunch as well as goodness.

Ingredients

• ·        6 tbs Greek yoghurt
• ·        2 tbs flaked toasted almonds
• ·        Runny honey
• ·        A few pinches of cinnamon

Methods

Cut the fig in half and arrange on two plates. Dollop the yoghurt over them and sprinkle with the almonds and cinnamon. Drizzle with the honey and serve

Also Try

Use strawberries in place of figs and omit the cinnamon.

Replace the figs with oranges and use pistachios and raisins. Omit the almonds and cinnamon.

• ·        100ml milk/yoghurt
