How to Make Greek Yogurt With A Honey Fig Date Swirl

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Toast 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans in a small oven-safe skillet for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  3. While nuts are toasting, roughly chop 4 fresh figs and 6 Medjool dates.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine chopped figs and dates with 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 cinnamon stick.
  5. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is softened and slightly thickened.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Remove the cinnamon stick.
  7. In a large bowl, gently fold 2 cups Greek yogurt (or homemade, see notes).
  8. Spoon the warm fig and date mixture over the yogurt and gently swirl to create a marbled effect.
  9. Sprinkle with the toasted nuts and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  10. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
