Marissa's MediterraneanA velvety, protein-packed dessert that balances nutty tahini with bright lemon and sweet honey. It's the ultimate wholesome way to satisfy a sweet tooth!
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chilled Greek yogurt, tahini, honey, vanilla extract, and the juice and zest of half the lemon.
Whisk vigorously until the tahini is fully incorporated and the mixture is silky smooth.
Taste the whip and add more lemon juice or a pinch of salt if you want to balance the sweetness further.
The tahini flavor develops as it sits, so don't overdo it at first!
Spoon the mixture into four small dessert bowls or ramekins.
Top each bowl with the crushed pistachios and a generous sprinkle of pomegranate seeds.
Finish with a final drizzle of honey and the remaining lemon zest before serving immediately.
Serve with a few slices of fresh fig if they are in season!
The secret here is using a high-quality, floral honey and making sure your yogurt is thick and cold. If your yogurt is a bit thin, strain it through cheesecloth for an hour first. Don't skip the lemon zest—it cuts through the richness of the tahini perfectly!
