Instructions
-
Prepare the Spiced Granola:
Begin by roughly chopping the hazelnuts, almonds, and pistachios. Do the same with the dried figs, ensuring all the ingredients are small enough to blend well together. -
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the oats, chopped dried fruit (including figs), and the crushed nuts. Sprinkle in the ground nutmeg and ginger powder. Toss everything together to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed. -
Make the Syrup:
In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the water and honey, stirring until the honey dissolves completely into the mixture. -
Combine Granola with Syrup:
Pour the syrup over the oat and nut mixture, stirring well so that every bit of the granola is coated. This will help the granola crisp up nicely when baked. -
Bake the Granola:
Spread the granola mixture evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Place the tray in a preheated static oven at 170°C (340°F) and bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Once baked, remove the granola from the oven and set aside to cool. -
Prepare the Yogurt Cream:
In a separate bowl, gently mix the plain yogurt with fresh cream. Use a spatula or whisk to stir until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and slightly fluffy. -
Assemble the Dessert:
Once the granola has cooled and the yogurt cream is ready, it’s time to assemble. Spoon two generous tablespoons of the creamy yogurt into each serving glass. Add a handful of the freshly baked spiced granola on top, and finish by drizzling a dollop of Nutella® over the top for that irresistible chocolatey touch. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve immediately for the best crunch and texture. Enjoy this sweet treat as a luxurious dessert or a special snack.
Tips & Variations:
- If you’re looking for an extra indulgence, you can add a few more drizzles of Nutella® over the granola before serving.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the cream and yogurt with coconut milk or a plant-based yogurt.
- Feel free to play with the dried fruits – raisins, dried apricots, or even chopped dates can be used to give this dessert a personal touch.
This Yogurt Cream with Spiced Granola and Nutella® is a perfect balance of creamy and crunchy, with the sweetness of honey, the warmth of spices, and the irresistible richness of Nutella®. It’s sure to become a new favorite in your recipe collection!
