Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

Yogurt Mixture

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 12 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup granola or chopped nuts
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash the raspberries gently and peel and dice the mango into bite-sized pieces. Keeping the fruit fresh and well-prepared ensures every layer shines through.
  2. Mix the Yogurt: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, if using. Stir until smooth and creamy, balancing the sweetness of the fruit.
  3. Layer the Parfait: Using a clear glass or parfait cup, start by spooning a layer of yogurt, followed by mango pieces, then raspberries, and a sprinkle of granola or nuts. Repeat the layers until the container is filled, ending with fresh fruit on top.
  4. Garnish and Chill: Add a final drizzle of honey or a few mint leaves for color and extra flavor. Serving immediately is fine, but chilling for about 10 minutes lets the flavors meld wonderfully.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit rather than frozen to maximize flavor and texture.
  • Layer ingredients evenly for a perfect balance in every spoonful.
  • Choose thick Greek or strained yogurt to prevent sogginess.
  • Add granola or nuts just before serving to maintain crunch.
  • Adjust sweetness with honey or syrup based on fruit ripeness and preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; best enjoyed fresh.
  • Freezing parfait whole is not recommended due to texture changes; freeze components separately if needed.
  • Reheating is not advised as it alters texture and flavor.
