Allergens

Nuts (walnuts and pistachios)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup erythritol
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cloves, ground
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom, ground
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp honey (for Keto diet, use sugar
  • free honey substitute)
  • 1/4 cup crushed pistachios

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a parchment paper in an 8x8 baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, walnuts, erythritol, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. Stir in melted butter until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.
  3. Press half of the mixture into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool completely.

  5. Cut the cooled crust into six equal squares and place a square in each serving glass. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, pour syrup over the yogurt, repeat layers, and finish with crushed pistachios.
  6. Refrigerate parfaits until chilled before serving.
