Passion Fruit Yogurt Parfait
A vibrant and refreshing parfait featuring creamy Greek yogurt layered with the tropical tang of fresh passion fruit pulp and a delightful crunch from granola, perfect for a quick and healthy start to your day or a light snack.
For 1 serving
Gather all ingredients. Wash the passion fruits and set aside. If using honey and vanilla, gently stir them into the Greek yogurt until well combined.
Carefully halve each passion fruit using a small, sharp knife. Use a spoon to scoop out the vibrant yellow pulp and black seeds into a small bowl.
Take a clear glass or small bowl. Spoon half (about 1/2 cup or 120ml) of the prepared Greek yogurt into the bottom of the glass, spreading it evenly.
Next, spoon half of the passion fruit pulp (from one passion fruit) over the yogurt layer. Sprinkle half of the low-sugar granola evenly over the passion fruit.
Repeat the layering process: add the remaining Greek yogurt, followed by the rest of the passion fruit pulp, and finally, the remaining granola on top.
Serve immediately to ensure the granola remains delightfully crunchy. Enjoy your refreshing and nutritious parfait!
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Choose ripe passion fruit: Look for passion fruits that are heavy for their size and have slightly wrinkled skin. Smooth-skinned passion fruits are often underripe.
- 2Keep granola crunchy: To prevent the granola from getting soggy, always add it as the final layer just before serving, especially if preparing ahead.
- 3Chill your yogurt: For the most refreshing experience, ensure your Greek yogurt is well-chilled before assembling the parfait.
- 4Customize sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preference, or omit it entirely if you prefer the natural tartness of the passion fruit.
Adapt it for your goals.
