Strawberry Yogurt Parfait
A quick and easy strawberry parfait with macerated berries, creamy yogurt, and crunchy granola—perfect for a healthy no-cook summer dessert or snack.
Ingredients
- For the Strawberries
- 1/2 cup strawberries cut into bite size pieces
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- pinch orange zest
- 2 tablespoons orange juice freshly squeezed
- dash vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- For the Parfait
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt I prefer Bellwether Farms sheep yogurt
- 1/2 cup strawberry almond granola
Instructions
- Macerate the strawberries. Combine ½ cup sliced strawberries, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, pinch of orange zest, 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice, dash of vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt in a small bowl. Let the strawberries marinate for 5 minutes.
- Build the parfait. For the first layer, place a quarter cup of the yogurt in a glass or bowl.
- For the second layer, place half of the macerated strawberries on top.
- For the third layer, cover the strawberries with a quarter cup of the granola.
- Repeat the process by adding a second layer each of yogurt, macerated strawberries and granola.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until desired. It will last in the refrigerator for 24 hours, though the granola will soften over time.
