Parfait Base

Method

Prep Fruit

1

Wash and cut fruit

Rinse strawberries, blueberries, and peach under cold water. Hull and quarter the strawberries. Slice the peach into thin wedges or small bite-sized pieces. Place all prepared fruit in a medium bowl.

2

If using lemon zest, grate the lemon zest over the fruit and gently toss to combine. This will brighten the fruit flavor.

Prepare Yogurt

3

Taste the vanilla Greek yogurt. If you'd like it sweeter or more vanilla-forward, stir in 2 teaspoons honey and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and uniform. Do not overmix; keep chilled until assembly.

Assemble Parfaits

4

Layering

Choose 4 serving glasses or bowls. Spoon about 1/4 cup of yogurt into the bottom of each glass to create a first layer.

5

Distribute about 2 tablespoons of granola on top of the yogurt layer in each glass (reserve the remainder of granola for layering and topping).

6

Add a layer of mixed seasonal fruit (about 2 to 3 tablespoons per glass), pressing gently so pieces sit evenly.

7

Repeat: add another 1/4 cup yogurt, then 2 tablespoons granola, then 2 to 3 tablespoons fruit. Finish with a final dollop of yogurt (about 1 to 2 tablespoons) if desired.

8

Top each parfait with a sprinkle of remaining granola (about 1 tablespoon), a few reserved whole blueberries or a sliced strawberry, and a pinch of toasted nuts if using.

Finish and Serve

9

Garnish each parfait with a small mint leaf. Serve immediately so the granola stays crunchy. If preparing ahead, assemble without the topmost granola and nuts, cover, and refrigerate up to 4 hours; add final granola and garnish just before serving.
