Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup Grand Marnier
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup orange segments
- 1/2 cup granola
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of Grand Marnier, 1/4 cup of honey, 1 cup of orange segments, and 1/2 cup of granola.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Grand Marnier, and honey. Use a whisk or spatula to gently mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Once the yogurt mixture is smooth, take a moment to taste it. If you prefer a sweeter parfait, you can add a little more honey to your liking and mix again.
- Prepare your serving glasses or bowls. You can use clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers of the parfait.
- Start by adding a layer of the yogurt mixture to the bottom of each glass. Use about 1/4 of the mixture for each serving.
- Next, add a layer of orange segments on top of the yogurt. Use about 1/4 cup of orange segments for each glass, distributing them evenly.
- Sprinkle a layer of granola over the orange segments for added crunch and texture. Use about 2 tablespoons of granola for each serving.
- Repeat the layering process: add another layer of the yogurt mixture, followed by more orange segments, and finish with another sprinkle of granola.
- Once all layers are assembled, you can garnish the parfaits with a few extra orange segments and a drizzle of honey on top for an appealing presentation.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, or chill in the refrigerator for a short time if you prefer a cooler parfait. Enjoy your delicious Orange and Grand Marnier Parfait!
Tips
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, ripe orange segments and premium Greek yogurt for the best flavor profile.
- Chill your serving glasses beforehand to keep the parfait cool and enhance its refreshing nature.
- For an extra touch of elegance, consider using a clear glass to showcase the beautiful layers.
- If you prefer a less alcoholic version, you can substitute Grand Marnier with orange juice or reduce the quantity.
- Toast the granola lightly before adding to enhance its nutty flavor and provide an extra crunch.
- Prepare the parfait just before serving to maintain the perfect texture of the granola and freshness of the ingredients.
- Experiment with garnishes like mint leaves or a sprinkle of orange zest to elevate the presentation.
