For the Brittle

  • 1 cup pistachios roasted and unsalted

Equipment

  • 8" square baking dish

Method
 

Brittle Preparation
  1. Lightly coat an 8" square baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar with 1/4 cup of water over low heat. Stir gently until the mixture melts, about 12 minutes.
  3. Once the sugar reaches a light golden color, quickly stir in 1 cup of roasted, unsalted pistachios.
  4. Immediately pour the hot pistachio mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading into a 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick layer.
  5. Allow the brittle to cool for about 30 minutes until it hardens completely, then cut into small pieces.
Parfait Assembly
  1. In clear glasses or bowls, layer Greek yogurt, drizzle with honey, and add chopped dried apricots.
  2. Top each parfait with crunchy pistachio brittle, and serve immediately.
