PREPARATION

These steps are followed for the preparation of Mixed Berry Parfait:

  • Prepare The Berries: Rinse and dry the mixed berries. Dice or slice the strawberries if they are large, leaving the blueberries and raspberries whole. This allocation allows for an even distribution of the berries throughout the parfait.
  • Layer The Greek Yoghurt: Put half of the Greek yoghurt in the bottom of a small glass or serving bowl. Greek yoghurt offers a rich, creamy base filled with protein to keep you feeling full.
  • Add The Berries And Honey: Layer half of the mixed berries on top of the yoghurt, then drizzle half of the honey over the berries. The honey adds a natural sweetness that complements the tanginess of the yoghurt and berries.
  • Repeat The Layers: Add the remaining yoghurt on top of the berries, followed by the rest of the berries and honey. This addition creates a visually appealing parfait with colourful layers, perfect for a quick snack or an impressive presentation at brunch.
  • Top With Granola: Sprinkle the granola on top of the parfait for added crunch. The granola adds texture and contrast to the smooth yoghurt and juicy berries so that every bite is satisfying.
  • Garnish And Serve: If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of freshness and serve immediately. The mint adds a refreshing finish, enhancing the flavours of the berries and yoghurt.

TIPS FOR MIXED BERRY PARFAIT

  • Use Fresh Or Frozen Berries: Fresh berries are ideal, but you can also use frozen berries when fresh ones are not in season. Just thaw and drain the frozen berries before adding them to the parfait.
  • Adjust The Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey according to your taste preference. You can also use maple syrup or agave nectar as a substitute for honey.
  • Crunchy Variation: If you like extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts alongside the granola.
  • Greek Yoghurt Alternative: For a dairy-free option, substitute the Greek yoghurt with coconut yoghurt or almond yoghurt, maintaining the creaminess while making it vegan-friendly.

VARIATIONS FOR MIXED BERRY PARFAIT

 

  • Add More Fruits: You can mix in other fruits like banana slices, kiwi, or mango for a tropical twist.
  • Switch The Granola: Try using flavoured granola like cinnamon or chocolate for a different taste profile, or use seeds like chia or flax for added nutrition.
  • Chocolate Lovers: For a dessert twist, add a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs to give it a rich, indulgent flavour.
  • Protein Boost: Add a spoonful of nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew) between the layers for added protein and healthy fats.
  • Layer With Jam: For extra sweetness, layer the parfait with a spoonful of fruit jam or compote in place of honey.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: If you’re preparing this parfait ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the granola separate until ready to serve to maintain its crunch.
  • Freezing: While the yoghurt and berries can be frozen, it’s best to assemble the parfait fresh to retain the texture of the ingredients. Freeze the yoghurt and berries separately if needed, and thaw before putting them together.
  • Meal Prep: For a grab-and-go breakfast or snack, prepare several servings of the yoghurt and fruit layers in mason jars. Keep the granola in a small separate container to sprinkle on when you’re ready to eat.
