Recipe: Mixed Berry Frozen Yogurt Parfaits

Ingredients

• 500g (2 cups) plain Greek yogurt
• 60ml (1/4 cup) honey or maple syrup
• 10ml (2 tsp) vanilla extract
• 200g (1 cup) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
• 15g (1 tbsp) sugar (optional, for berry sauce)
• 50g (1/2 cup) granola
• 50g (1/2 cup) fresh berries for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Yogurt Mixture

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. This will provide the creamy base for the parfait. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

Step 2: Create the Berry Sauce

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries and sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down into a sauce. You can lightly mash them with the back of a spoon if you prefer a smoother sauce. Set aside to cool.

Step 3: Assemble and Freeze

In parfait glasses or tall glasses, layer the ingredients starting with a few tablespoons of the yogurt mixture, followed by a small layer of berry sauce and a sprinkle of granola. Repeat the layers until the glass is filled.

Step 4: Freeze

Place the assembled parfaits into the freezer for at least 1.5 to 2 hours or until firm and frozen. This creates the frozen yogurt effect.

Step 5: Serve

Before serving, allow the parfaits to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Top with fresh berries for garnish and enjoy the refreshing flavors.
