I forgot to "layer" the ingredients but since this only took me a total of 2 minutes to prep I shall make it again soon parfait-style! In the meantime: Fresh Greek whole milk yogurt + organic Zahidi dates + raw walnuts + raw local honey+ ground cinnamon= A+! Prepared for CQ 2017.

Wow! Such great flavor out of just a few pantry staples! I made this for an ending to a really complex Ethiopian meal and chose it because it was super easy and I had everything on hand. I didn't expect much. BUT, it was a fantastic surprise! The cinnamon on top just sets off an explosion of the other flavors! DH was eating this while I was doing dishes and at the first bite yelled out "Wow - this is one of the best desserts I've ever had!". What? I've spent hours preparing fancy desserts, and THIS is one of the best he's had? Yes - it's that good. Make it... (Made for CQ4 play, Team Happy Campers)

So I thought this was going to be a just okay take on yogurt parfait...I was wrong. It was a FABULOUS take on a yogurt parfait. Never expected the dates to be soooo tasty. Really loved this and will make again (with more dates)! Thanks P. Nan! Stacy G, made for CQ 2017, Turkey.

I loved, loved, loved this! I eat a lot of yogurt, so I'm always looking for different add-ins to change it up. The dates, toasted walnuts, honey, and cinnamon in these parfaits were so delicious that I ate not one, but two in one sitting. I made as written, using Greek honey yogurt. This has become my new "favorite" way to eat yogurt. Thank you for sharing! **Made for 2017 Culinary Quest - Turkey for Smok'in Chefs**
