Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup granola
- 2 cups vanilla yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cool running water. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the strawberries into thin, uniform pieces. Aim for slices about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even distribution in the parfait.
- Select four clear glass parfait glasses or mason jars to create an attractive presentation that allows the layers to be visible.
- Begin layering by adding a generous spoonful of vanilla yogurt as the first base layer in each glass, covering the bottom completely.
- Sprinkle a layer of granola over the yogurt, creating a crunchy texture that will contrast with the creamy yogurt.
- Add a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the granola, arranging them neatly and evenly.
- Repeat the layering process: yogurt, then granola, then strawberries, filling each glass almost to the top.
- If desired, drizzle a small amount of honey over the top layer for additional sweetness and a beautiful finish.
- Garnish the parfaits with a few whole or halved strawberries on top for an elegant presentation.
- Serve immediately to ensure the granola remains crisp and the parfaits are fresh and cool.
