1 parfait
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 1/4 cup Almond Granola
  • 1-2 teaspoons Maple Syrup or Honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Make the Blueberry Compote

In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and a tablespoon of water. Cook over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until the blueberries have burst and the mixture has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Add maple syrup or honey to taste, if desired. Let cool slightly.

Assemble the Parfait

In a glass or bowl, layer half of the Greek yogurt. Top with half of the blueberry compote, then sprinkle with half of the almond granola.

Repeat Layers

Repeat the layers with the remaining Greek yogurt, blueberry compote, and almond granola.

Serve Immediately

Serve the blueberry yogurt parfait immediately for the best texture. Alternatively, you can chill it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving.

FAQ

  • Can I use other types of yogurt?

    Yes, you can use any type of yogurt you prefer. Plain yogurt, vanilla yogurt, or even flavored yogurt alternatives like coconut yogurt work well. Just adjust the sweetness accordingly.

  • Can I use frozen blueberries?

    Yes, frozen blueberries work well in the compote. No need to thaw them first. Just add them directly to the saucepan and cook as directed. You may need to cook a little longer if you're using frozen fruit.

  • Can I make this parfait ahead of time?

    It's best to assemble the parfait just before serving to prevent the granola from getting soggy. However, you can prepare the blueberry compote in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • What if I don't have almond granola?

    You can substitute other types of granola, toasted nuts, or even crumbled graham crackers for the granola. Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings!
