Ingredients
- 2 cups yogurt
- 1 cup granola
- 2 cups mixed berries
- Honey to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: yogurt, granola, mixed berries, and honey.
- Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Pat the berries dry gently with a clean paper towel or kitchen towel.
- Select two clear glasses or parfait glasses to showcase the layers of the dessert.
- Begin layering by adding a base of approximately 1/4 cup of yogurt to the bottom of each glass.
- Sprinkle a layer of granola over the yogurt, about 2 tablespoons per glass.
- Add a handful of mixed berries on top of the granola layer, distributing them evenly.
- Repeat the layering process: add another layer of yogurt, followed by granola, then berries.
- For the final top layer, create a decorative arrangement of berries and a light sprinkle of granola.
- Drizzle honey over the top of each parfait to add sweetness and enhance the flavor.
- Serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the granola and the freshness of the berries.
Tips
- Choose Your Yogurt Wisely: Opt for Greek yogurt for a thicker texture and added protein, or go for a flavored yogurt to enhance the taste of your parfait.
- Mix Up the Berries: Feel free to use your favorite berries or seasonal fruits—strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries all work beautifully together!
- Add a Crunch: Experiment with different types of granola or even nuts and seeds for added texture and flavor.
- Layer with Love: For a visually appealing parfait, layer your ingredients evenly and don’t be afraid to get creative with the arrangement of the berries on top.
- Make It Your Own: Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with cinnamon, or add a dollop of nut butter for an extra twist to your parfait.
- Serve Fresh: To keep the granola crunchy, assemble the parfaits just before serving. If you need to prepare ahead, keep the granola separate until you're ready to enjoy.
