Homemade Yogurt parfait

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium mixing bowl, I stir the honey into the whole milk yogurt until it’s fully incorporated. This adds just the right touch of sweetness without overpowering the natural flavor of the yogurt. You can adjust the amount of honey depending on your taste.

2. 2

   If you’re using fresh berries, I wash and gently pat them dry. For frozen berries, I let them thaw slightly so they release just a bit of their natural juices—this keeps the yogurt from becoming too watery. I like cutting larger berries, like strawberries, into bite-sized pieces to make each spoonful perfect.

3. 3

   Now comes the fun part—building your parfait! I usually start with a spoonful of yogurt at the bottom of the glass. Next, I add a layer of berries, followed by a sprinkle of granola. Then I repeat the layers until the glass is full, finishing with a few berries and a final drizzle of honey on top. This way, every bite has the perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and crunchy textures.

   I usually serve my parfait immediately for the freshest crunch from the granola. But if you’re prepping ahead, I cover the glasses and refrigerate them for up to 2 hours. The granola will soften slightly but still taste delicious.

   If you’re prepping these parfaits ahead of time, I store them in airtight containers or cover the glasses with plastic wrap in the fridge. They stay fresh for up to 24 hours, though I recommend adding granola just before serving if you want to keep it crunchy.
