Ingredients Serving: 2
1 1/2 cups thick yogurt (Greek or hung yogurt or any flavored yogurt)
2 to 3 tbsp honey (if using plain yogurt)
1 cup breakfast cereal (I have used Kellogg’s Raisin Bran Crunch; you can use any that you have or even granola)
2 cups strawberries, chopped
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp lemon/lime juice
1/4 cup blueberries
¼ cup slivered almonds or any other chopped nuts (Optional)
Few blueberries and strawberries for garnishing
Optional add ins:
Toasted flax seeds
Chocolate chips
Granola
Crushed peanut brittle (or chikki as we call it in India)
Crushed biscuits or cookies
Instructions
To make the strawberry compote:
In a saucepan, add chopped strawberries and sugar; cook on medium heat stirring often until slightly softened.
Once the strawberries start to release water, gently macerate or press down with the ladle, crushing a few berries, stirring occasionally.
After a few minutes, when the berries have thickened a bit, add lemon juice and remove from heat. Cool completely. At this stage, it can be refrigerated until ready to layer the parfait.
Meanwhile; if using plain yogurt, whip it with a whisk to make it smooth. At this stage stir in honey or you can drizzle honey over yogurt in the dessert glass.
To assemble the parfaits:
In large parfait individual glasses (or any dessert glass that you have), start layering the elements of the snack or dessert parfait.
Start with a layer of yogurt, about 2 tbsp or more depending upon the size of the glass. Spread it out at the bottom of the container. Drizzle some honey over it; as much as or as little as you want, if not added earlier.
Then spoon some cooled strawberry compote over it and level with a spoon over the yogurt. For added flavor and texture, place some blueberries on top of the compote.
Next top with or sprinkle cereal (you can crush the cereal a little if the grains or flakes are too large); about 2 tbsp and level it evenly over the yogurt.
At this stage, you can sprinkle some nuts and then continue layering.
Continue layering, ending with cereal.
Place a dollop of yogurt on top of the parfait.
Garnish with fresh blueberries and strawberries; serve right away!
Enjoy it as a healthy and quick breakfast dish, serve it as a dessert or dig into it as a mid-day snack any time!
With the addition of kids’ cereal (of course, choose low-sugar varieties), your kids will enjoy it too and you have a healthy option for them. You can even let them make these the way they want!
