Instructions

Pit the Medjool dates. Discard the pits.
In a blender or food processor, combine the plain yogurt, pitted dates, and half of the soaked almonds. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture to serving bowls. This creates a soft-serve consistency.
Garnish with the remaining soaked almonds and a drizzle of honey. The almonds add a delightful crunch.
For a firmer, chilled dessert, freeze for 20 minutes before serving. This enhances the flavors and creates a refreshing treat.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For a creamier texture and a probiotic boost, use strained Greek yogurt or labneh.
Lightly toast the almonds before sprinkling them on top to enhance their crunch and flavor.
For an elegant presentation, layer the ingredients in small glass jars or cups for a parfait-style look.
For a vegan version, substitute plain dairy yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup or date syrup instead of honey.
Add more nuts as desired.

Expert Tips

If using Medjool dates, be sure to remove the pits before blending.
For a smoother blend, soak the dates in warm water for 10-15 minutes before processing.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup/date syrup to your liking.
