Ingredients
- 3 oz gelatin powder
- 1 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 4-6 strawberries
- 1 tbsp almonds chopped
- mint a little, to serve
Instructions
- Begin by pouring the gelatin powder into a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of room temperature water. Allow the mixture to stand for 15 minutes. The dry powder will absorb the liquid and expand. Place the bowl with the mixture in the microwave. Heat for 1 minute on high. Or instead of microwaving, you can use a water bath. Once done, pour the mixture into a whisk glass and place it in a bowl of ice water. Whip the mixture until it transforms into white jelly.
- Pour the jelly into individual parfait glasses or stemless wine glasses which you'll serve in. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, normally around 30 minutes.
- Slice strawberries and arrange them neatly around the edges of your parfait glasses, adding a touch of beauty to the presentation.
- Fill the center of the glasses with creamy Greek yogurt all the way to the top. To further enhance the presentation, decorate with a layer of fresh sliced strawberries, mint leaves, and chopped almonds.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Use a flavored gelatin powder that complements strawberries, such as orange, to enhance the taste.
- Allow the gelatin to set fully in the refrigerator before assembling the parfaits to maintain structure.
- Decorate with fresh mint leaves and chopped almonds for added texture and freshness.
