Notes
Tip: For a sweeter parfait, adjust the amount of honey to your taste. If you prefer it less sweet, you can reduce the honey or substitute with a sugar-free option.
For added flavor, experiment with different types of nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, or try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for warmth. If figs are out of season, consider using dried figs or other seasonal fruits like peaches or berries.
This parfait can be made ahead of time—just keep the yogurt and toppings separate until serving to maintain the crunchiness of the almonds. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days, but keep in mind that the yogurt may soften the almonds over time.
