Perfect Parfait
This is great as a meal, snack, or dessert!
2 c. plain yogurt
1-2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
2 medium fruits. Apples are great for a ‘crunch’; cantaloupe, pomegranate, nectarines, and peaches are also good.
1 c. sweetened coconut, lightly toasted (optional: I tend to forget this every time and it turns out great).
Any combo of the following: toasted slivered almonds (the BEST), pecans, walnuts, and sunflower seeds.
Combine yogurt and maple syrup, set aside. Divide 1/2 of the fruit among four parfait glasses. Top each with 2 tablespoons of coconut. Place close to ½ cup yogurt in each glass (reserving a dollop for the top). Divide the remaining fruit among the glasses. Garnish each glass with a dollop of yogurt, coconut, and/or toasted almonds. I usually layer plain yogurt with the fruit, then drizzle a little bit of syrup over the top, instead of pre-mixing the yogurt and syrup).
This will satisfy a craving for something sweet every time! My kids think the yogurt mixture tastes like whipped cream!
Serves 4
Enjoy!
