Sweet Peach Yogurt Parfait (Printable)
Refreshing layered parfait with creamy yogurt, sweet peaches, and crunchy granola ready in just 10 minutes.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 3 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced (or 2 cups drained canned peaches, sliced)
→ Yogurt
02 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla yogurt)
→ Sweetener
03 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
→ Crunch
04 - 1½ cups granola
→ Garnish
05 - Fresh mint leaves (optional)
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl, toss the peach slices with 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Let rest for 2 minutes to allow the fruit to absorb the sweetener and release its natural juices.
02 - In parfait glasses or small serving bowls, spread 2 tablespoons of yogurt evenly across the bottom.
03 - Add approximately 2 tablespoons of the sweetened peach slices over the yogurt, followed by 2 tablespoons of granola.
04 - Continue layering yogurt, peaches, and granola until the glasses are filled. Finish with a final dollop of yogurt and a generous sprinkle of granola on top.
05 - Drizzle the remaining honey or maple syrup over the top layer. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
06 - Serve immediately to preserve the granola's crunch and the fresh texture of the peaches.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It takes about ten minutes from cutting board to table, which means you can honestly make this half asleep on a Saturday morning and still feel accomplished.
- The layered look in a clear glass is so pretty that people always assume you tried harder than you actually did, and I will never correct them.
02 -
- Do not assemble these more than an hour ahead of time, because granola surrenders its crunch fast once it meets yogurt and you will be sad about it.
- If your peaches are not very sweet on their own, a tiny pinch of salt in the honey mixture will wake up their flavor in a way that feels almost like magic.
03 -
- Slightly underripe peaches actually hold their shape better in layers, so do not stress if your fruit is not perfectly soft.
- Chill your parfait glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before assembling, because the cold glass keeps the yogurt firm and makes every layer look cleaner and more defined.
