Sweet Peach Yogurt Parfait (Print Version)
Creamy yogurt layered with honey-kissed peaches and crunchy granola for a light, satisfying treat.
# What You Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 3 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced (or 2 cups drained canned peaches, sliced)
→ Yogurt
02 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla yogurt)
→ Sweetener
03 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
→ Crunch
04 - 1½ cups granola
→ Garnish
05 - Fresh mint leaves (optional)
# How-To:
01 - In a medium bowl, toss the peach slices with 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Let sit for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
02 - In serving glasses or bowls, spoon 2 tablespoons of yogurt into the bottom of each glass.
03 - Add a layer of peaches (about 2 tablespoons), followed by a layer of granola (about 2 tablespoons) over the yogurt.
04 - Repeat the yogurt, peach and granola layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of granola on top.
05 - Drizzle the remaining honey or maple syrup over the top layer. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
06 - Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It takes ten minutes from fridge to table and looks like something from a cafe window display.
- The contrast of creamy, juicy, and crunchy textures in every bite makes it impossible to stop at one serving.
02 -
- Assemble these no more than fifteen minutes before serving or the granola will soften into soggy disappointment and there is no recovering from that.
- Tossing the peaches with sweetener before layering draws out their natural juices and creates a thin syrup that ties every layer together without any extra effort.
03 -
- Use a clear glass so the layered colors are visible, because people eat with their eyes first and the streaked amber and white pattern is half the joy.
- Always taste your peaches before sweetening them, since an already perfect peach needs nothing more than a squeeze of lemon juice to shine.
