Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup Crushed chocolate cookies (like Oreos, with filling removed)
- 0.5 cup Granola
- 0.5 cup Berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 5 whole Mint leaves or edible flowers for garnish
- 4 pieces Small flowerpot-shaped containers or ramekins
Instructions
Prepare your small flowerpot-shaped containers or ramekins by ensuring they are clean and dry.
Take the Greek yogurt and stir in the honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. Set aside.
To create the 'soil,' crush the chocolate cookies finely into crumbs. You can use a food processor or crush them manually in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.
Begin assembling the parfait layers. Start by adding 2 tablespoons of granola to the bottom of each container as the base.
Next, spoon a generous layer of sweetened Greek yogurt over the granola, filling up about half the container.
Sprinkle a layer of berries over the yogurt for a burst of color and flavor.
Add another layer of Greek yogurt on top of the berries, leaving about a half-inch of space at the top of the container.
Cover the top layer of yogurt with crushed cookie crumbs to resemble the 'soil' in the flowerpot.
Gently press a mint leaf or an edible flower into the center of the cookie crumbs to create the appearance of a potted plant.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve cold and enjoy your edible flowerpot parfait!
