Here’s an easy Greek dessert with Greek yogurt, walnuts, cinnamon, and honey. It’s a no-bake treat that’s full of protein, vegetarian, and gluten-free.
When I’m too busy to cook, I make this quick Greek snack. In Greece, it’s often a dessert, but I could eat it anytime. It’s packed with protein, making it a great pick-me-up. You can adjust the ingredients to your liking—use pistachios instead of walnuts if you prefer, or add fresh fruit like peaches or berries.
There’s no cooking involved, and it’s cool, creamy, tangy, sweet, and a bit spicy. With only four ingredients and taking just two minutes to make, it’s the perfect dessert!
Yogurt With Honey Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strained yogurt see notes

Instructions
- Crush the walnuts a bit with a mortar and pestle, or just use them chopped.

Notes
