Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup granola
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Remove the stems and slice the strawberries into thin pieces.
2. In a small bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat and let them sit for 5-10 minutes to release their natural juices.
3. If desired, stir the vanilla extract into the vanilla yogurt to enhance the flavor.
4. Begin assembling the parfaits in clear glasses or dessert bowls. Start with a layer of the macerated strawberries (including some of the juices) at the bottom.
5. Add a layer of vanilla yogurt on top of the strawberries, spreading it evenly.
6. Sprinkle a generous layer of granola over the yogurt to add crunch.
7. Repeat the layering process (strawberries, yogurt, granola) until the glasses are filled, ending with a final sprinkle of granola on top for presentation.
8. If desired, garnish with a fresh mint leaf for a touch of color and aroma.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your Strawberry Quick Parfait!
