Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup blueberries
Dairy:
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup granola
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries by gently tossing them with sugar in a mixing vessel, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. Allow the fruit to rest in the refrigerator, letting the natural juices develop and intensify for approximately 30 minutes.
- Select elegant clear glasses to showcase the vibrant layers of the parfait. Carefully distribute the macerated strawberries as the initial foundation, creating an even base that covers the bottom of each glass.
- Gracefully spoon a generous layer of creamy Greek yogurt directly atop the strawberries, allowing it to settle smoothly and create a pristine white canvas.
- Scatter fresh blueberries across the yogurt surface, ensuring an even distribution that provides visual appeal and fruity bursts of flavor.
- Sprinkle a consistent layer of crunchy granola over the blueberries, introducing a delightful textural contrast to the soft fruits and smooth yogurt.
- Repeat the layering sequence by adding another round of macerated strawberries, followed by additional yogurt and a final garnish of blueberries.
- Complete the parfait with a final delicate dusting of granola, creating an inviting and appetizing presentation that promises a delectable sensory experience.
- Serve immediately to preserve the optimal temperature and texture, ensuring each spoonful delivers a perfect balance of flavors and consistency.
Notes
- Sweeten naturally by using honey or maple syrup instead of sugar for a healthier alternative.
- Customize the parfait by swapping strawberries with seasonal fruits like peaches, raspberries, or mangoes.
- Boost protein content by choosing Greek yogurt with higher protein percentage or mixing in a scoop of protein powder.
- Create a gluten-free version by selecting certified gluten-free granola or replacing granola with toasted nuts and seeds.
