Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 1 cup Vanilla Yogurt
Fruit Layer
- 1 cup Mixed Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Crunchy Layer
- 1/2 cup Granola
Sweet Topping
- 2 tbsp Honey
Garnish
- Fresh Mint Leaves
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by washing the berries thoroughly and patting them dry. If you’re using larger berries like strawberries, slice them into smaller pieces for easier layering.
- Layer the Yogurt: In your serving cups, spoon in a layer of vanilla yogurt, filling about one-third of the cup. This creamy layer will provide a lovely base for your parfait.
- Add the Berries: Next, add a layer of mixed berries on top of the yogurt. You can arrange them artistically for a beautiful presentation, or simply toss them in for a more casual look.
- Sprinkle the Granola: Now it’s time to add some crunch! Sprinkle a layer of granola over the berries, ensuring an even distribution for that delightful texture in every bite.
- Repeat the Layers: Continue layering the yogurt, berries, and granola until the cups are filled to your desired height. You can usually get two to three layers in a standard cup.
- Finish with Toppings: Drizzle honey on top of each parfait and garnish with fresh mint leaves. This final touch not only adds flavor but also enhances the visual appeal.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh fruits and high-quality yogurt make a noticeable difference in flavor.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For a refreshing treat, chill your yogurt and berries before assembly.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t be afraid to mix in different flavored yogurts or sweeteners.
- Layer Creatively: The way you layer can affect both taste and aesthetics; have fun with it!
- Serve Immediately: For the best texture, serve your parfaits right after making them.
