Fruit & Yogurt Parfait
Description
The Fruit & Yogurt Parfait combines sliced strawberries soaked in sugar with rich full-fat Greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, and granola. The strawberries soften as they sit and release juices that slightly sweeten the overall parfait. Layering the ingredients in clear glasses creates a striking red, white, and blue presentation. The texture contrasts between creamy yogurt, juicy berries, and crunchy granola provide a pleasing mouthfeel. The sugar in the strawberries adds a mild sweetness that balances the tang from the yogurt.
The parfait is assembled in two layers, repeating the fruit and yogurt for color and flavor balance. It should be served immediately after completing the layers so the granola remains crunchy and does not absorb moisture from the fruit. This recipe works well for a refreshing breakfast or light dessert. The greeks yogurt offers richness and protein, making it slightly more substantial than a fruit parfait with only yogurt and berries.
Storing leftovers in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap can preserve it for up to three days, but the granola is best added just prior to eating to maintain its texture. Preparing the strawberries ahead by letting them soak in sugar helps bring out their juices and enhances the overall flavor.
