Kitchen Guide
- → What types of fruit work best in this parfait?
Fresh, ripe seasonal fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, peaches, and kiwi add natural sweetness and vibrant colors. Feel free to customize based on availability and preference.
- → Can I use dairy-free alternatives for the yogurt?
Yes, plant-based yogurts like almond or coconut milk versions work well as substitutes for a vegan or dairy-free option.
- → How can I keep the granola crunchy when layering?
Add the granola just before serving to maintain its crisp texture and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- → Is it necessary to add honey or maple syrup?
No, the natural sweetness of the fruit is often sufficient. Adding honey or maple syrup is optional to enhance sweetness.
- → Can I prepare this parfait ahead of time?
It’s best assembled just before eating to keep granola crunchy and fruit fresh. If preparing earlier, store components separately.
