Sweet Peach Yogurt Parfait (Printable Version)
Creamy yogurt layered with honey-kissed peaches and crunchy granola makes this vibrant parfait perfect for breakfast or dessert.
# What You Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 3 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced (or about 2 cups drained canned peaches, sliced)
→ Yogurt Base
02 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (vanilla yogurt may be substituted)
→ Sweetener
03 - 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup, divided
→ Crunch
04 - 1½ cups granola
→ Garnish
05 - Fresh mint leaves (optional)
# Method:
01 - Place the peach slices in a medium mixing bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Toss gently to coat and let rest for about 2 minutes so the fruit absorbs the sweetener.
02 - Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each parfait glass or serving bowl, spreading it into an even layer.
03 - Add a layer of sweetened peach slices (about 2 tablespoons) over the yogurt, followed by a layer of granola (about 2 tablespoons).
04 - Repeat the yogurt, peach and granola layers until the glasses are nearly full, finishing with a final spoonful of yogurt and a generous sprinkle of granola on top.
05 - Drizzle the remaining honey or maple syrup over each parfait. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately to preserve the granola's crunch.
# Expert Tricks:
01 -
- It comes together in ten minutes flat with zero cooking, which means you can eat dessert for breakfast and still catch every excuse to stay in bed.
- The contrast of creamy yogurt and crunchy granola against those syrupy peaches is the kind of simple magic that makes people think you tried harder than you did.
02 -
- Assemble these right before serving because granola turns soggy fast and you will lose the entire textural point of the dish.
- Tasting your peaches before sweetening them is crucial, some are bursting with natural sugar and need barely any honey while others need the full amount.
03 -
- Toasting your granola in a dry pan for three minutes before assembling adds a depth of flavor that makes people ask what your secret is.
- Use a piping bag or zip top bag with the corner snipped off to layer yogurt cleanly along the inside of the glass for that professional bakery look.
