Fact
The term "parfait" hails from France, where it originally referred to a frozen dessert made from sugar syrup, egg, and cream. Over time, parfaits have been reimagined in the United States and beyond, transforming into a beloved breakfast or snack option. Today’s parfaits typically feature layers of yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit, providing a versatile base that can be tailored with a variety of toppings to suit different palates and dietary needs.
Serving Suggestions
This yogurt parfait is versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways:

- Snack Time: Prepare smaller portions in mini jars or cups for a handy snack. Perfect for both kids and adults.
- Brunch Delight: Present it as part of a brunch spread alongside other favourites like scrambled eggs, avocado toast, and fresh pastries.
- Dessert: For a lighter dessert option, top the parfait with a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Storing Instructions
To keep your yogurt parfait fresh and delicious:
- Refrigeration: Store any assembled parfaits in the refrigerator. Cover them with cling film or lids if using jars, and consume within 24 hours for the best taste and texture.
- Separate Ingredients: If preparing in advance, consider storing the yogurt, fruit, and granola separately. This prevents the granola from becoming soggy. Assemble just before serving.
