Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yoghurt
- 1 cup fresh figs, sliced
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing the fresh figs thoroughly and slicing them into thin, even pieces.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt with vanilla extract and honey, stirring gently until the ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
- Select clear glass serving containers or parfait glasses to showcase the layers of the dessert.
- Begin layering the parfait by adding a base layer of approximately 1/4 cup of the vanilla-honey yoghurt to the bottom of each glass.
- Carefully arrange a layer of sliced fresh figs over the yoghurt, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle a generous portion of granola over the fig layer to add crunch and texture.
- Repeat the layering process: add another layer of yoghurt, followed by figs, and then granola.
- For the final touch, garnish the top with a few additional fig slices and a light drizzle of honey.
- Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy yoghurt, sweet figs, and crunchy granola.
Tips
- Choose ripe, fresh figs for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness. Look for figs that are soft but not mushy.
- Use thick Greek yoghurt for a richer, creamier texture that holds its shape beautifully in layers.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider toasting your granola lightly before adding it to the parfait.
- Chill your glasses beforehand to help the layers set more quickly and maintain their distinct appearance.
- For a more decadent version, you can add a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings or a dash of cinnamon between layers.
- If you're preparing this in advance, add the granola just before serving to maintain its crunchiness.
- Experiment with different types of honey - raw, wildflower, or lavender honey can add unique flavor dimensions.
