Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups yogurt
- 1 cup mixed berries
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup granola
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit compote by placing mixed berries in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook the berries for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down and release their natural juices, creating a slightly thickened sauce.
- Remove the berry compote from heat and let it cool to room temperature. The compote will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Select two clear glass serving containers or parfait glasses to showcase the layers.
- Begin layering by adding a generous spoonful of yogurt as the first base layer in each glass.
- Drizzle a small amount of honey over the yogurt layer to add sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Sprinkle a layer of granola on top of the yogurt to provide a crunchy texture.
- Add a layer of the prepared fruit compote, allowing the vibrant berries to create a colorful visual appeal.
- Repeat the layering process: yogurt, honey, granola, and fruit compote until the glasses are filled.
- Finish the parfait with a final drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of granola on top for garnish.
- Serve immediately or chill for 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
Tips
- Choose high-quality, thick yogurt for the best texture and flavor. Greek yogurt works wonderfully for a rich, creamy base.
- For the fruit compote, use fresh or frozen mixed berries. If using frozen, don't thaw them before cooking to maintain their shape and flavor.
- Let the berry compote cool completely before layering to prevent the yogurt from becoming runny.
- For extra visual appeal, use clear glasses that showcase the beautiful layers.
- Toast the granola lightly before adding to enhance its nutty flavor and crispness.
- Experiment with different honey varieties like lavender or wildflower for unique flavor profiles.
- Prepare the parfait just before serving to keep the granola crisp and textures distinct.
- For a healthier version, use low-fat yogurt and reduce the honey quantity.
