Ingredients for one yogurt cup
If you prefer, you can replace the vanilla yogurt with plain yogurt.
- 1 kiwi
- 1/2 cup yogurt (vanilla)
- 3/4 oz amaretti
- 3/4 oz walnut kernels
- 1 tbsp honey
- A few small amaretti for decoration (optional)
Tools
- 1 Knife
- 1 Small bowl
Preparation of the yogurt cup
Crumble the amaretti (I used a meat tenderizer, but a glass works fine too) and roughly chop the walnuts with a knife.
In a small bowl, place the yogurt and add the honey. Mix it well, then add the chopped walnuts and mix again until smooth.
Peel the kiwi, slice it, and place the slices at the bottom of a single-serving cup (set aside a few slices for final decoration).
Then sprinkle the kiwi slices with the amaretti crumbs (again, set aside a bit for final decoration) and pour over the prepared yogurt and walnut cream.
Finally, garnish with some more amaretti crumbs, a few kiwi slices, and a few small amaretti. Enjoy the yogurt cup immediately to prevent the amaretti from losing their crunchiness. Enjoy! Paola
