Directions
Step 1
Place the Turkish yogurt in a large bowl and whisk it until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
Step 2
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat, then add the butter and allow it to melt completely.
Step 3
Add the chopped dried apricots, figs, and raisins to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and caramelize slightly.
Step 4
Add the almonds and pistachios to the pan and toast them lightly while stirring for another 2 minutes.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cinnamon powder, grated nutmeg, and a pinch of salt over the fruit and nut mixture. Stir well to coat evenly and let cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Drizzle the honey over the warm sautéed fruit and nuts, stirring gently to combine.
Step 7
To serve, divide the yogurt evenly among four small bowls. Spoon the warm sautéed fruit and nut mixture over the top of each serving.
Step 8
Optionally, garnish each bowl with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and fresh aroma.
Step 9
Serve immediately for a delightfully warm and creamy dessert or snack.
