Ingredients
  • 2 cups Greek Yogurt
  • 2 large Grapefruit
  • 2-3 tablespoons Honey
  • 1/2 cup Granola
  • optional for garnish Mint Leaves

Prepare the Grapefruit

Begin by segmenting the grapefruit. Carefully cut away the peel and pith, then use a sharp knife to separate the segments from the membranes. This ensures you only get the juicy flesh without any bitterness. Place the segments in a bowl.

Sweeten the Yogurt

In a separate bowl, gently stir the honey into the Greek yogurt. Adjust the amount of honey to your desired sweetness level. Avoid over-mixing to keep the yogurt thick and creamy.

Assemble the Parfait

In two glasses or parfait dishes, layer the yogurt, grapefruit segments, and granola. Start with a layer of yogurt, followed by grapefruit segments, then a sprinkle of granola. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of yogurt and a final sprinkle of granola on top.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish the parfaits with fresh mint leaves, if desired. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Alternatively, you can chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!

FAQ

  • Can I use different types of yogurt?

    Yes, you can use any type of yogurt you prefer, such as vanilla yogurt, coconut yogurt, or even non-dairy yogurt alternatives. The flavor profile will change slightly, but it will still be delicious.
  • Can I substitute other fruits for grapefruit?

    Absolutely! Oranges, clementines, or blood oranges would all work well in this parfait. You can also add other fruits like berries or sliced kiwi for extra flavor and texture.
  • How long can I store leftover parfaits?

    It's best to eat the parfaits immediately after assembly, as the granola can become soggy over time. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Keep in mind that the texture may change slightly.
