Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries)
- 1/4 cup granola
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cool running water. Gently pat them dry using paper towels.
- If using whole berries, slice larger berries like strawberries into bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the parfait.
- Select clear glass serving cups or mason jars to showcase the beautiful layers of the parfait.
- Begin layering by adding a generous spoonful of coconut yogurt as the first base layer, spreading it evenly across the bottom of each serving container.
- Sprinkle a layer of mixed berries directly over the coconut yogurt, allowing the colorful fruits to create a vibrant visual layer.
- Add a light sprinkle of granola over the berry layer to provide a crunchy texture contrast.
- Repeat the layering process: coconut yogurt, berries, and granola, creating 2-3 distinct layers in each parfait.
- If desired, drizzle a small amount of honey over the top layer for added sweetness.
- Garnish the parfait with a few fresh mint leaves on top for a pop of color and subtle aromatic freshness.
- Serve immediately to maintain the granola's crispness and enjoy the cool, refreshing dessert.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Berries: The secret to an extraordinary parfait lies in using ripe, fresh berries. Look for berries that are firm, deeply colored, and have a sweet aroma.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the most refreshing experience, ensure your coconut yogurt and berries are well-chilled before assembling.
- Layer with Precision: Use clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers. Take your time when creating each layer for a visually stunning presentation.
- Granola Crunch Tip: To maintain maximum crispness, add granola just before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Customize Your Sweetness: The honey is optional, so adjust according to your preference or dietary needs. You can also substitute with maple syrup or agave.
- Make Ahead: While best served immediately, you can prepare the components in advance and assemble just before serving to maintain texture and freshness.
