How to Make Yogurt Parfaits With Walnuts Dates Honey

Line a plate with several layers of heavy-duty paper towels. Spoon 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt onto the paper towels, spreading it to a 1/2-inch thickness.
Cover the yogurt with additional layers of paper towels.
Let stand for 5 minutes to drain excess whey.
Gently scrape the thickened yogurt into a bowl using a rubber spatula.
Divide 1 cup of the drained yogurt evenly among six parfait glasses.
Chop 6 Medjool dates (about 1/4 cup) – lightly coat your knife with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Toast 1/4 cup walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Chop coarsely.
Top each yogurt serving with 1 tablespoon of chopped dates, 2 teaspoons of chopped toasted walnuts, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of honey.
Cover the parfaits and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor).
Before serving, sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon, if desired.
