Ingredients
For the Yogurt Base
- 400 gm Yogurt greek yogurt recommended for a thicker consistency; can also use strained yogurt (hung curd)
- 1 tbsp Sugar adjust to your sweetness preference, powdered

For the Crunch

Instructions
Prepare the Yogurt
- Strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth-lined sieve or colander for at least 2 hours to remove excess whey. This creates a thicker, creamier yogurt.
Mix the Yogurt Base
- In a bowl, whisk the strained yogurt until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; whisk until well combined.
Prepare the Fruit
- Wash and chop your chosen fruits (strawberries, kiwi, cherries). Keep the fruit aside.
Assemble the Parfait
- In individual serving glasses or bowls, layer the chopped fruits. Gently fold the sliced almonds into the yogurt mixture.
Top and Chill
- Top the fruit layers with the yogurt mixture. Garnish with a few extra cherries or any other preferred fruit.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the parfait to chill before serving.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a sweeter parfait, increase the powdered sugar to your liking.
- Feel free to experiment with different fruits – blueberries, raspberries, mangoes, or peaches would all be delicious additions.
- If you don't have time to strain the yogurt, you can use thick Greek yogurt instead.
- For extra texture, add a tablespoon of granola or chopped nuts to the parfait.
