Yogurt Parfait With Honey (Printer-friendly)
Layered creamy yogurt with honey and fresh fruits
# What You'll Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
→ Sweetener
02 - 4 tablespoons honey
→ Fresh Fruits
03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
04 - 1 cup fresh blueberries
05 - 1 cup fresh kiwi, peeled and chopped
06 - 1 medium banana, sliced
→ Optional Toppings
07 - 1/2 cup granola or toasted nuts
08 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish
# How to Prepare:
01 - Wash all fruits thoroughly. Hull and slice the strawberries, rinse the blueberries, peel and chop the kiwi, and slice the banana into even rounds. Set aside in separate bowls for easy assembly.
02 - Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each parfait glass or serving bowl, spreading it into an even layer.
03 - Drizzle approximately 1/2 tablespoon of honey evenly over the first yogurt layer in each glass.
04 - Arrange a generous layer of mixed strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and banana slices over the honey-drizzled yogurt in each glass.
05 - Spoon another layer of yogurt over the fruit, drizzle with additional honey, and add more mixed fruit. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a colorful fruit layer on top.
06 - Sprinkle granola or toasted nuts over the top layer if desired, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a finished presentation.
07 - Serve immediately to maintain crunch from the granola, or refrigerate for 20 minutes for a softer, more cohesive texture.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It takes about ten minutes but looks like you spent an hour, which is the kind of magic I live for.
- The layers of creamy yogurt and jewel toned fruit feel indulgent but keep things light and energizing.
02 -
- If you add granola too early it will go soggy, so save it for the very last moment before serving.
- Chilling the glasses beforehand keeps the yogurt firm and makes the layers hold their shape noticeably better.
03 -
- Use a clear glass so the colorful layers are visible, because half the joy of a parfait is how it looks before you dive in.
- Warm the honey for ten seconds in the microwave so it drizzles in thin, elegant ribbons rather than thick clumps.
