Lemon Cheesecake Yogurt Parfaits
Report
Adding cottage cheese to Greek yogurt ups the protein content of this healthy breakfast, while the juicy berry compote makes it taste like a dessert.
Share:
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 1 3/4 cup cottage cheese
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- milk (optional)
- 1 cup Quick Berry Compote, chilled
Instructions
- Toast the nuts. Add the sliced almonds in a small dry skillet set over medium heat. Toast stirring occasionally for about 3 to 5 minutes until the nuts turn golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- Blend parfait ingredients. Combine cottage cheese, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Add yogurt, and continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth. If the consistency is too thick for easy blending, add up to ¼ cup milk.
- Layer the parfaits. Fill each of 5 small (half pint or 8-ounce) jars about halfway with the yogurt mixture. Top with a couple of spoonfuls of compote, then add another layer of the yogurt mixture saving enough room for more compote and a sprinkling of almonds. Seal with a lid or cover tightly and store in the refrigerator.

- I love the concept of cheesecake for breakfast, but these parfaits are delicious made with only Greek yogurt. Double the yogurt quantity to replace the volume of the cottage cheese. When making them this way you can skip the blender, which is mostly important to break down the cottage cheese. Simply whisk the yogurt with the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl.
