# Expert Tips:
01 -
- This parfait feels like a secret shortcut to something stunning, ready in minutes but always impresses.
- Even on sleepy mornings, the burst of fresh fruit and creamy yogurt wakes up my senses and puts a smile on the table.
02 -
- If you wait too long to serve, the granola gets soggy and loses its crunch—layers should be built right before eating.
- Mixing a pinch of lemon zest into the yogurt makes the flavors pop—one day I forgot, and everyone noticed the difference.
03 -
- Start with cold ingredients; room-temperature yogurt won&apost hold the layers as well.
- Layer the honey between the berries and granola for the best flavor meld and feel free to use a squeeze bottle for extra control.
