Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Scandinavian
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 medium beets
  2. 1 cup raspberries
  3. 2 cups skyr
  4. 2 tablespoons honey
  5. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  6. Granola for layering

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly and trim off the tops and roots.
  2. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet to prevent moisture loss during roasting.
  3. Place the foil-wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife can easily pierce through the beet.
  4. Remove beets from the oven and let them cool completely. Once cooled, use gloves or paper towels to carefully peel off the skin.
  5. Dice the roasted beets into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/4 inch in size.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix skyr with honey and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  7. Gently wash and pat dry the fresh raspberries, setting aside a few for garnish.
  8. In clear glass parfait or mason jars, begin layering by adding a base of granola, followed by a layer of vanilla-honey skyr.
  9. Add a layer of roasted beet cubes and fresh raspberries, creating a colorful and visually appealing stratification.
  10. Repeat the layering process, ending with a final topping of skyr, beet cubes, and a few whole raspberries for garnish.
  11. Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
  12. Serve cold and enjoy the vibrant, nutritious Scandinavian-inspired dessert.

Tips

  1. Roasting Beets Like a Pro: - Always wear disposable gloves or use paper towels when handling roasted beets to prevent staining your hands - Check beet doneness by inserting a knife - it should slide in smoothly - Allow beets to cool completely before peeling to make skin removal easier
  2. Skyr Preparation Secrets: - Use full-fat skyr for a richer, creamier texture - Gently fold honey and vanilla to maintain a smooth consistency - Chill skyr mixture for 10-15 minutes before layering for optimal thickness
  3. Layering and Presentation Tips: - Use clear glass containers to showcase beautiful color layers - Create uniform cube sizes for beets for a professional look - Reserve some whole raspberries and beet cubes for an elegant garnish - Chill parfaits briefly before serving to let flavors meld and set
  4. Make-Ahead and Storage: - Can be prepared up to 4-6 hours in advance - Store covered in refrigerator - Add granola just before serving to maintain crunchiness
