Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/2 cup granola
- Honey (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 2 cups of vanilla yogurt, 1 cup of mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries), 1/2 cup of granola, and honey for drizzling if desired.
- Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cool running water. If using strawberries, remove the green tops and slice them into smaller pieces for easier layering.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the washed berries. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can lightly drizzle some honey over the berries and gently toss them to coat.
- Take two serving glasses or bowls. Start by adding a layer of vanilla yogurt at the bottom of each glass, filling it about one-third full.
- Next, add a layer of the mixed berries on top of the yogurt, distributing them evenly between the two glasses.
- Sprinkle a layer of granola over the berries in each glass, adding about half of the 1/2 cup of granola to each serving.
- Repeat the layers by adding another layer of vanilla yogurt on top of the granola, followed by another layer of mixed berries.
- Finish with a final layer of granola on top of the berries in each glass.
- If desired, drizzle a bit of honey over the top layer of granola for added sweetness and flavor.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for a short time before serving. Enjoy your delicious Vanilla Yogurt and Berry Parfait!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, ripe berries. Seasonal fruits will enhance the taste and presentation of your parfait.
- Layering Technique: Don’t rush the layering process! Take your time to create beautiful layers of yogurt, berries, and granola. This not only looks appealing but also ensures a balanced bite every time.
- Customize Your Parfait: Feel free to mix and match your favorite fruits. Try adding bananas, peaches, or even a sprinkle of nuts for extra crunch and flavor.
- Make Ahead: If you're preparing this for a special occasion, you can assemble the parfaits a few hours in advance. Just keep them refrigerated until you’re ready to serve.
- Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter parfait, adjust the amount of honey according to your taste. You can also experiment with flavored yogurts for a unique twist!
- Presentation Matters: Use clear glasses or bowls to showcase the beautiful layers of your parfait. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a few whole berries on top for an elegant touch.
