Sweet Peach Yogurt Parfait Delight (Printable)
Creamy yogurt layered with sweet peaches and crunchy granola makes this refreshing parfait ideal for breakfast or dessert.
# What You Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 3 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (or 2 cups drained canned peaches, sliced)
→ Yogurt
02 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla yogurt)
→ Sweetener
03 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
→ Crunch
04 - 1½ cups granola
→ Garnish
05 - Fresh mint leaves (optional)
# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl, toss the peach slices with 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Let sit for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
02 - In each serving glass or bowl, spread 2 tablespoons of yogurt evenly across the bottom.
03 - Add a layer of peaches (about 2 tablespoons) over the yogurt, followed by 2 tablespoons of granola.
04 - Continue layering yogurt, peaches, and granola until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of granola on top.
05 - Drizzle the remaining honey or maple syrup over each parfait. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
06 - Serve immediately to maintain the granola's crunch and the peaches' fresh texture.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes exactly ten minutes from cutting board to table, which means you can make it while the coffee brews.
- The contrast of creamy yogurt, burstingly sweet peaches, and crunchy granola hits every texture craving at once.
02 -
- If you assemble these more than thirty minutes ahead, the granola will go soft and you will lose the textural contrast that makes parfaits magical.
- Canned peaches are a perfectly fine shortcut, but drain them thoroughly because excess syrup will make the yogurt runny and water down the layers.
03 -
- Peaches that are slightly too firm will soften nicely if you let them sit with the honey for ten minutes instead of two.
- Use a clear glass so everyone can see the beautiful layers, because people eat with their eyes first and this dish is gorgeous.
