I first made this dessert last spring and it's quickly become one of my favorites. It appeared in the March 2005 issue of Gourmet Magazine in an article about the London restaurant Moro.

Bring 2 cups of freshly made espresso (I use Bustello) to a boil with 1 teaspoon sugar, 20 whole cardamom pods, lightly crushed, and 1 3-inch cinnamon stick, broken in half. Add coffee to two cups pitted Medjool dates in a heat-proof bowl. Cool, cover and refrigerate overnight. Serve dates and espresso syrup over Greek yogurt or plain yogurt that has drained in a paper-towel-lined sieve for one hour.
