Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 fresh pears
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup granola
- 4 teaspoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 for garnish mint leaves
Instructions
Wash the pears thoroughly, then dice them into small, bite-sized pieces. Optionally, peel the pears before dicing.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the diced pears with lemon juice and ground cinnamon. Toss until the pears are evenly coated.
In another bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt with vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Retrieve 4 serving glasses or small jars for assembling the parfaits.
Start layering by spooning 2-3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each glass.
Add a layer of diced pears on top of the yogurt, roughly 2-3 tablespoons per glass.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola over the pears in each glass for a crunchy texture.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over the granola in each glass to add a touch of sweetness.
Repeat the layers (yogurt, pears, granola, and honey) until the glasses are filled, ending with a final drizzle of honey on top.
Garnish each parfait with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Pear Parfait!
