A quick, bright dessert that layers thick Greek yoghurt with honey, orange zest and crunchy pistachios. Ready in minutes and perfect for a simple weeknight treat.
Ingredients
500g thick Greek yoghurt (use full-fat or reduced-fat to taste)
60g (about 4 tbsp) honey (plus extra to drizzle if liked)
60g pistachios, shelled, finely chopped (reserve a few whole or halved for garnish)
1 orange, zest only (about 1 tsp)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, adds warmth)
Method
Step 1
Lightly toast the pistachios in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, shaking the pan, then leave to cool and chop roughly.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl stir the Greek yoghurt with 3 tbsp (45g) of the honey and the orange zest until smooth and well combined. Taste and add the remaining honey if you prefer it sweeter.
Step 3
Spoon a third of the yoghurt mixture into four serving glasses or bowls, then scatter a third of the chopped pistachios over each.
Step 4
Repeat to make another layer of yoghurt and pistachios, finishing with a final spoon of yoghurt on top.
Step 5
Drizzle the remaining honey over each parfait, sprinkle with the reserved chopped pistachios and a light dusting of cinnamon if using. Serve immediately or chill for up to 1 hour.

Recipe Notes
For a lighter option use reduced-fat Greek yoghurt. To make ahead, prepare layers but add the pistachio garnish just before serving to keep it crunchy.
