Notes
A Few Tips:
Assemble the parfaits the evening before for an effortless breakfast.
Add the granola only just before serving to keep it crunchy.
Greek yoghurt gives a thicker, creamier texture than standard natural yoghurt.
Swap the strawberries for blueberries, mangoes, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, or mixed berries when they are in season.
Serve in clear glasses to show off the colourful layers.
A drizzle of honey can be added if your fruit is slightly tart.
Fruit Variations:
Blueberry Parfait:
Replace the strawberry purée with fresh blueberry purée and garnish with whole blueberries. Mango Parfait:
Use ripe mango blended until smooth for a tropical version. Blackberry Parfait:
Blend fresh blackberries and pass the purée through a sieve if you prefer to remove the seeds. Mixed Berry Parfait:
Combine strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries for a colourful berry blend. Storage: Store the prepared parfaits, without the granola topping, covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add the granola immediately before serving for the best texture. Serving Suggestions: Fruit Parfaits are delicious served with freshly brewed coffee, fruit juice, or a smoothie. They also make a beautiful addition to a brunch table alongside croissants, muffins, fresh fruit, or warm pastries.
