Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 300 grams Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Granola
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 piece Banana (optional, sliced)
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the mixed berries. Reserve some whole berries for garnish, if desired.
In a small saucepan, combine half the berries with the sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Set the compote aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness, if needed.
Gather 4 glass cups or jars to assemble your parfaits. Begin by adding 2-3 tablespoons of yogurt to each cup as the base layer.
Top the yogurt layer with 1-2 tablespoons of the cooled berry compote.
Add a layer of granola (about 2 tablespoons per cup), followed by a few slices of bananas (if using).
Repeat the layers: yogurt, compote, and granola, until the cups are filled. Aim to finish with a dollop of yogurt or compote on top.
Garnish with the reserved whole berries, a drizzle of the remaining honey, and mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately for a crunchy texture, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours for a softer granola. Enjoy!
