TIPS
- Yoghurt Options: Choose unsweetened or lightly sweetened soy yoghurt to keep the sugar content low.
- Berry Freshness: Use fresh or frozen berries depending on availability and season.
- Layering: Create multiple layers for a more decorative and indulgent parfait.
- Nut Crunch: Toast the almonds lightly for an extra crunch and depth of flavour.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Option: Use seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds instead of almonds.
- Sweet Twist: Drizzle a touch of maple syrup or agave for added sweetness.
- Spice It Up: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warming flavour.
- Protein Boost: Mix in a spoonful of protein powder with the yoghurt for extra protein.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store the parfait in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Freezing: Not recommended, as the yoghurt and berries can lose their texture when thawed.
- Best Practices: Assemble just before eating to maintain the crunch of the nuts.
