Ingredients
Scale
For the Parfait
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite yogurt)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for the yogurt mixture)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Topping
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for caramelizing)
- 1/4 cup granola (your choice)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Fresh fruit (such as berries or sliced banana, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined. Chill (Optional): For a cooler parfait, refrigerate the yogurt mixture for about 30 minutes.
- Assemble the Parfaits: Layer Ingredients: In serving glasses or bowls, layer the yogurt mixture, granola, and a drizzle of honey. Repeat these layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a final layer of yogurt on top.
- Caramelize the Sugar: Sprinkle Sugar: Evenly sprinkle granulated sugar over the top layer of yogurt in each parfait. Caramelize: Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it melts and forms a crispy crust. If you don’t have a torch, place the parfaits under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve: Garnish the parfaits with fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas and serve immediately to enjoy the crunchy caramelized sugar topping with creamy yogurt and crunchy granola.
Notes
- Chill the yogurt mixture before assembling to get a cooler, more refreshing parfait.
- Be careful when using the torch or broiler to caramelize sugar—don’t leave it unattended to avoid burning.
- You can customize the parfait with different granola flavors or toppings based on your preference.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture or opt for lighter yogurt for a lower-calorie option.
- Serve immediately after caramelizing for the best contrast between crunchy topping and creamy yogurt.
