Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dried figs?
Yes—slice them thinly, but soak in warm water or juice first to soften.
What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?
Regular yogurt works fine, though the texture will be looser. Strained yogurt gives the creamiest result.
Can I meal prep these?
You can prep yogurt and toppings ahead, but add figs and honey just before serving to keep them fresh.
