Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 1 cup granola
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and at the appropriate temperature. You'll need Greek yogurt, peanut butter, strawberry jam, granola, and fresh strawberries.
- In a medium mixing bowl, gently stir the Greek yogurt to create a smooth, creamy consistency. Make sure there are no lumps in the yogurt.
- Warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it more easily spreadable. Fold half of the peanut butter into the Greek yogurt, creating a marbled effect.
- Prepare the fresh strawberries by washing them thoroughly and patting them dry. Slice the strawberries into thin, uniform pieces.
- Select two clear glass parfait glasses or mason jars to create a visually appealing layered dessert.
- Begin layering the parfait by adding a base layer of the peanut butter-infused Greek yogurt to each glass, filling approximately one-third of the container.
- Drizzle a layer of strawberry jam over the yogurt, allowing it to create a beautiful swirl pattern.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of granola on top of the jam for added crunch and texture.
- Repeat the layering process, adding another layer of the peanut butter Greek yogurt, followed by jam and granola.
- Top the parfait with fresh strawberry slices and a final sprinkle of granola for garnish.
- For best results, chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy, sweet, and crunchy textures in your PBJ Greek Yogurt Parfait.
Tips
