Sweet Peach Yogurt Parfait Delight (Printer-friendly)

Layers of creamy yogurt, sweet peaches, and granola make this refreshing treat.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 3 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (or 2 cups drained canned peaches, sliced)

→ Yogurt

02 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla yogurt)

→ Sweetener

03 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

→ Crunch

04 - 1½ cups granola

→ Garnish

05 - Fresh mint leaves (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, toss the peach slices with 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup. Let rest for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
02 - In parfait glasses or serving bowls, spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of yogurt into the bottom of each.
03 - Layer about 2 tablespoons of the sweetened peaches over the yogurt, followed by roughly 2 tablespoons of granola.
04 - Continue layering yogurt, peaches, and granola until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of yogurt and a generous sprinkle of granola on top.
05 - Drizzle the remaining honey or maple syrup over the top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
06 - Serve immediately to preserve the granola's crunch and the peaches' fresh texture.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes longer to brew coffee than to assemble four of these, which means you can have dessert for breakfast without any guilt or planning.
  • The contrast between cold tangy yogurt and warm sweet peaches is the kind of simple magic that makes people think you tried harder than you did.
02 -
  • If you assemble these more than an hour ahead, the granola surrenders entirely and you end up with a soggy mess that tastes fine but feels deeply disappointing in the mouth.
  • Peeling peaches is worth the extra ninety seconds, because the skin slides off in ragged strips and catches between your teeth at the worst possible moment.
03 -
  • Slice the peaches unevenly on purpose, because a mix of thin slivers and chunky pieces creates more interesting texture in every spoonful.
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before assembling so the yogurt stays thick and the layers hold their shape beautifully.
