Ingredients

  • 2 cups / / 500 g strained yogurt (see notes)
  • 3 tbsp/ / 65 g liquid raw honey
  • ¼ cup / 30 g chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Use a mortar and pestle to grind roughly the walnuts. This is not a mandatory step, you can add them just roughly chopped.
  • Distribute about half of the strained yogurt between three glasses or small bowls. Spoon half of the honey on top in each glass. Sprinkle half of the walnuts over the honey.
  • Repeat the process with one more layer of each ingredient, to fill the glasses.
  • Enjoy immediately or keep refrigerated.

Notes

  • The original recipe is with strained Bulgarian yogurt (from cow or buffalo milk) but you can use any yogurt with thick and creamy consistency (for example greek yogurt).
  • If you are lazy to make layers, you can just dump the yogurt in bowls and top it with the honey and walnuts. If the yogurt is thick enough, you can even use a scoop to serve it like ice cream.
  • Alternatively instead of honey and walnuts you can use blueberry jam or any other jam that you like. This is a different dessert but it is also popular in Bulgaria.
