3. Pour the warm mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up.

– Feel free to omit walnuts for a nut-free version.
– Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the honey based on your taste.
