METHOD · 4 STEPS

prep · ~5 min
Prepare the jackfruit compote.
1.Place chopped ripe jackfruit in a mixing bowl.
2.Add honey and lemon juice.
3.Mash lightly with a fork, leaving small chunks for texture.
4.Mix until the honey coats the fruit evenly. Set aside.
TIPUse fully ripe jackfruit that pulls apart easily. It should smell sweet and tropical.
prep · ~2 min
Toast the coconut flakes.
1.Heat a small dry pan over low-medium heat.
2.Add desiccated coconut and stir constantly.
3.Toast until edges turn golden (1-2 minutes).
4.Remove from pan immediately to prevent burning.
TIPCoconut burns fast — don't step away from the pan.
assemble · ~5 min
Layer the parfaits.
1.Spoon 2 tablespoons of jackfruit compote into the bottom of each glass.
2.Top with a 2-tablespoon layer of yogurt.
3.Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granola over the yogurt.
4.Repeat layers: jackfruit compote, then yogurt.
5.Finish with a final sprinkle of granola on top.
TIPKeep granola layers thin so they stay crunchy — too much gets soggy.
garnish · ~1 min
Garnish and serve immediately.
Top each parfait with toasted coconut flakes and a few mint leaves. Serve right away so the granola stays crisp.
TIPIf making ahead, skip the granola layer and add it just before serving.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

7 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use fully ripe jackfruit that yields to gentle pressure and smells intensely sweet for the best compote flavor.
2
Lightly mash the jackfruit with a fork — leaving small chunks gives the compote a pleasing texture.
3
Warm the honey slightly before mixing to help it coat the jackfruit evenly without clumping.
4
For thick yogurt, hang it in a muslin cloth over a bowl for 30 minutes to drain excess whey.
5
Toast the desiccated coconut on low heat and stir constantly — it turns from golden to burnt in seconds.
6
If assembling ahead, keep the granola separate and sprinkle it on just before serving to maintain crunch.
7
Use a clear glass to show off the colorful layers — it makes the parfait look as good as it tastes.

Swap honey for maple syrup or agave nectar, and use a thick plant-based yogurt (such as coconut or cashew yogurt) — all other ingredients are naturally vegan-friendly.
