Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups blackberries
- 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups granola
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, honey, and lemon zest. Gently mix until the blackberries are evenly coated. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld for 5 minutes.
Gather 4 serving glasses or small jars for assembling the parfaits.
Start by spooning about 2 tablespoons of granola into the bottom of each glass, spreading it out evenly.
Add a layer of vanilla Greek yogurt (approximately 1/4 cup) over the granola in each glass, smoothing it out gently with the back of a spoon.
Layer a generous portion of the honeyed blackberries (about 2 tablespoons) on top of the yogurt in each glass.
Repeat the layering process: granola, yogurt, and blackberries, until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of blackberries on top.
Garnish each parfait with a small sprinkle of granola and a fresh mint leaf, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving for a slightly firmer texture.
