Yogurt Parfait With Honey And Fruits (Printable Version)
Wholesome layered Greek yogurt with honey drizzle and mixed fresh fruits. Perfect quick breakfast or healthy dessert.
# What You Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
→ Sweeteners
02 - 4 tablespoons honey
→ Fruits
03 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
04 - 1 cup blueberries
05 - 1 cup kiwi, peeled and diced
06 - 1 banana, sliced
→ Crunchy Layer
07 - 1/2 cup gluten-free granola
→ Garnish
08 - Fresh mint leaves
# Directions:
01 - Wash all fruits thoroughly. Hull and slice the strawberries, peel and dice the kiwi, slice the banana, and rinse the blueberries. Set aside.
02 - Place four clear glasses or bowls on your work surface. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt to the bottom of each glass to form the first layer.
03 - Drizzle approximately 1 teaspoon of honey evenly over the yogurt layer in each glass.
04 - Add a generous layer of the prepared mixed fruits—strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and banana—over the honey-drizzled yogurt in each glass.
05 - Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of gluten-free granola over the fruit layer in each glass for added texture and crunch.
06 - Repeat the layering process—yogurt, honey, fruit, and granola—until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of fresh fruit and a final drizzle of honey.
07 - Top each parfait with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately to maintain the granola's crunch and the fruit's freshness.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It looks like it took far more effort than it actually did, which makes you feel a little smug when serving it to guests.
- The combination of creamy, crunchy, and juicy textures in every bite keeps you coming back for another spoonful.
- You can swap fruits based on whatever is wilting in your produce drawer and it still turns out beautiful.
02 -
- If you assemble these more than an hour ahead of time the granola will absorb moisture from the yogurt and turn soggy, which defeats the whole purpose.
- Banana slices brown quickly once exposed to air, so a light toss in lemon juice keeps them looking fresh if you are prepping in advance.
03 -
- Use a piping bag or a zip top bag with the corner snipped off to layer yogurt cleanly without smearing it on the sides of the glass.
- Tilt your glass slightly while adding fruit pieces to press them against the wall, creating those gorgeous visible layers that make people think you are a professional.
