Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup chocolate pudding
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup granola
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and at the appropriate temperature. You'll need clear glasses or parfait dishes for layering.
- In a medium mixing bowl, gently fold the Greek yogurt and chocolate pudding together until they are completely combined and create a smooth, creamy chocolate yogurt mixture.
- Wash the fresh raspberries carefully and pat them dry with a clean paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Begin layering the parfaits by first adding a generous spoonful of the chocolate yogurt mixture to the bottom of each glass, creating an even base layer.
- Sprinkle a layer of fresh raspberries over the chocolate yogurt, distributing them evenly across the surface.
- Add a layer of granola on top of the raspberries, which will provide a delightful crunch and texture contrast.
- Repeat the layering process, alternating between chocolate yogurt, raspberries, and granola until the glasses are nearly full.
- Drizzle honey over the top of each parfait, allowing it to cascade down the layers for added sweetness.
- Garnish the top with a few whole raspberries and a sprinkle of granola for an attractive presentation.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your ingredients are chilled for the best texture and flavor combination.
- Layer with Precision: Use a clear glass to showcase the beautiful layers and create a visually stunning dessert.
- Granola Selection: Choose a high-quality granola with a mix of nuts and oats for added crunch and complexity.
- Raspberry Freshness: Select ripe, firm raspberries and handle them gently to maintain their shape and prevent crushing.
- Honey Hack: Warm the honey slightly for easier drizzling and better distribution across the parfait.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the components in advance and assemble just before serving to keep the granola crisp.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to experiment with different types of yogurt, pudding, or toppings to make the recipe your own.
