Description

Fresh Strawberry Parfait is a light, refreshing layered dessert made with sweet strawberries, creamy yogurt or whipped cream, and crunchy granola—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a simple dessert.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tbsp sugar or honey
  • 2 cups vanilla yogurt or whipped cream
  • 1 cup granola
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (if using plain yogurt)
  • Fresh mint for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss sliced strawberries with sugar or honey and let sit for 5 minutes to release juices.
  2. If using plain yogurt, mix in vanilla extract.
  3. Begin layering parfaits in clear glasses: start with yogurt, then strawberries, then granola.
  4. Repeat layers until the glasses are full.
  5. Top with extra strawberries and garnish with mint.
  6. Serve immediately for crunch or refrigerate for a softer texture.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, protein-packed parfait.
  • Swap granola for crushed cookies to make it more dessert-like.
  • Try mixing strawberries with blueberries or raspberries for variety.
