Ingredients
01 -
3 ripe firm pears, about 450 g
02 -
15 g butter
03 -
2 tbsp honey, divided
04 -
½ tsp ground cinnamon
05 -
1 tbsp lemon juice
06 -
400 g thick Greek yogurt
07 -
½ tsp vanilla extract
08 -
40 g chopped walnuts
# Instructions:
01 -
Peel, core and cut the pears into small cubes. Weighing about 450 g before trimming gives roughly 350 g prepared fruit.
02 -
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pears, one tablespoon of honey, cinnamon and lemon juice. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring gently, until tender and lightly glazed. If the pan becomes dry before the pears soften, add one tablespoon of water.
03 -
Transfer the pears and their juices to a shallow bowl. Cool for about 30 minutes, until no longer warm. Keep the yogurt refrigerated while the pears cool.
04 -
Stir the yogurt with the vanilla and remaining tablespoon of honey. Divide half the yogurt between four small glasses, then add half the pears. Repeat the yogurt and pear layers.
05 -
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the cups just before serving so they stay crisp. Serve cool with a spoon reaching through both layers.
06 -
Cover and refrigerate for up to two days, keeping the walnuts separate until serving. Refrigerate promptly after assembly.
