Serve these for a light but elegant ending to a special meal. If you prefer, you can replace the almonds with pecans or walnuts—or use a mixture of all three.
Recipe Ingredient Details:
1 quart plain nonfat or regular yogurt
3 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons honey, divided
Mint leaves (for garnish)
Spoon yogurt into a sieve lined with a paper towel or cheesecloth and set over a bowl. Refrigerate and let drain for 2 hours.
Place sugar in a medium nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat until liquefied (watch carefully to avoid burning). Add almonds and sauté until light brown, stirring constantly. Spread out almonds on a piece of foil to cool. Dust with cinnamon and chop coarsely.
Blend almond extract, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon honey into yogurt. Divide yogurt into four parfait glasses. Drizzle with remaining honey and sprinkle with candied almonds. Garnish with mint.
