Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut yogurt
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1 cup mixed berries
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Remove the coconut yogurt from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
- Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cool running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix the vanilla extract with the honey or maple syrup until well combined.
- Select two clear glasses or parfait dishes to showcase the layers of the dessert.
- Begin layering by adding a generous spoonful of coconut yogurt to the bottom of each glass, creating an even base.
- Sprinkle a portion of granola over the yogurt layer to add crunch and texture.
- Add a layer of mixed berries on top of the granola, distributing them evenly.
- Repeat the layering process: add another layer of coconut yogurt, followed by granola, and then berries.
- Drizzle the vanilla-infused honey or maple syrup over the top of each parfait.
- Garnish with a few additional berries and a sprinkle of granola on top for visual appeal.
- Serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
Tips
- Choose high-quality, thick coconut yogurt for the best texture and richness.
- For extra flavor, try toasting your granola lightly before adding to the parfait.
- Use seasonal berries to keep the recipe fresh and varied throughout the year.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, opt for unsweetened coconut yogurt and reduce the honey/maple syrup.
- For a more photogenic presentation, use clear glass containers to showcase the beautiful layers.
- Chill your glasses beforehand to help the layers set more quickly and maintain their distinct appearance.
- Experiment with different granola types - try nut-based or seed-based varieties for unique textures.
