Recipe Tips
Here are some tips for your convenience:
- You can use fresh fruit instead of frozen. But the thawing process releases the juices that make the parfait more toothsome and juicy.
- You can add additional garnishing material such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, etc.
- You can add as much variety of fruit as you want to make the parfait more yummy and colorful.
- To give a creamy touch, you can add a little bit of cream also.
- Replace the vanilla flavor of yogurt with your favorite one to enjoy the ultimate deliciousness.
- If you like more sweetness in your dessert, you can add sugar or maple syrup to enhance the sweetness.
- You can use plant-based yogurt and enjoy this yummy parfait if you are vegan.
- For enhanced flavor, first mix peanut butter in the yogurt and then make the parfait.
- Replace granola with pecans or use both of them.
Storage
The fruity parfait is best served when fresh. But you can store it in the refrigerator also. For that to work, you have to wrap the parfait cup with foil or cling paper to make sure it is airtight. Then store in the refrigerator. It will stay good for 3 days.
Just to be on the safer side, do not add sweet granola if you are going to refrigerate the parfait. If you have to store the leftover parfait, remove as much granola as you can.
Freezing the parfait is a big no because the yogurt will lose its consistency and it will destroy the overall texture of the parfait making it all sloppy.
