Yogurt and Mixed Berry Parfait

Ingredients

·             Granola - 1 cup

·             Greek Yogurt - 1 cup (or use use the thick part of your homemade curd)

·             Honey - to taste

·             Mixed berries (Strawberries, Blueberries, Blackberries,Raspberries,etc..) - 1 cup

·             Sugar - 2 tsp

Method

1.          To prepare the berries, toss the berries with sugar and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. You can add some lemon or orange zest for added flavor. If you have any fruit compote, feel free to use that. I have shared the recipe for mixed berry compote here.

2.          For the yogurt, you can buy store bought flavored yogurt. If not flavor your yogurt with some honey. You need thick yogurt. So if you are using homemade curd, be sure to hang it in a muslin cloth for 30 minutes to remove all excess liquid.

3.          Take 2 tall glasses. Clear glasses makes a beautiful presentation.

4.          Layer each glass with 1 tbsp of the flavored yogurt followed by 1 tbsp of the prepared berries and then with 1 tbsp of granola.

5.          Repeat the process till you reach the top of the glass.

6.          Serve immediately.

 

·             If you are in parts of the world where you cannot find berries or granola, do not worry. Follow the same method and make your own parfait. You can use any fruit puree or chopped fruits instead of berries. I have tried with pineapples, peaches, nectarines, banana, strawberries and mango. It all tastes good. Instead of granola, just use oats cooked with some sugar and chopped nuts.
