Strawberry Delight Parfait is a simple, refreshing dessert thatβs perfect for summer gatherings or a special breakfast treat. With layers of sweet strawberries, creamy yogurt, and crunchy granola, it's an easy-to-make delight that looks as good as it tastes.
Fresh strawberries bring natural sweetness and a vibrant red color to the parfait. They're the star of the show and add a juicy element to each bite. Vanilla yogurt provides a creamy, tangy base that balances the sweetness of the strawberries. It's smooth and adds a luscious texture. Granola contributes a satisfying crunch and a nutty flavor, making the parfait more filling. The honey enhances the strawberries' sweetness, while lemon zest adds a subtle citrusy brightness. Finally, a touch of mint leaves for garnish gives a refreshing finish and a pop of green.
Strawberry Delight Parfait pairs beautifully with a light brunch spread. Consider serving it alongside a platter of assorted cheeses, fresh fruit, and croissants. It's also delightful with a glass of chilled Prosecco for a festive touch.
Start by hulling and slicing your fresh strawberries. Place them in a bowl with the honey and lemon zest. Give them a gentle stir to make sure they're evenly coated. This step helps the flavors meld together nicely.
Next, grab your serving glasses. Begin by spooning a layer of the honeyed strawberries into each glass. Follow this with a layer of vanilla yogurt. Use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly. Then add a layer of granola. Repeat this layering process to build up your parfait, finishing with a final dollop of yogurt on top.
For the finishing touch, garnish each parfait with a few fresh mint leaves. These not only make the dessert look pretty but also add a lovely aroma.
