Directions
Strawberry Yogurt Parfait Instructions
- Place the strawberries in a medium size bowl. In a small bowl combine the strawberry jam and 1 Tablespoon honey. Stir well. Add to the fresh strawberries and gently toss. Set the bowl aside for 10 minutes.
- Have 2 to 4 glasses ready to assemble the parfaits. Depending on the size of your glasses, you will be able to create either 2 or 4 filled glasses. Place a small amount of the Greek yogurt in each glass. Add a spoonful of the strawberries. Top with a spoonful of the granola. Alternate layers until you reach the top of your glasses. Decorate with a few slices of berries and the fresh mint.
Homemade Granola Instructions
(makes about 3 cups)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sea salt, cardamon powder (if using), and nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Add melted tallow, 1/4 cup honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to thoroughly mix everything together. Spread the granola onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the granola from the oven and give it a stir. Return to the oven to bake for another 12 minutes. Remove the granola from the oven. Cool completely before using or storing in a covered container. The granola will get crispy as it cools.
Notes/Substitutions
- The parfaits are best served fresh to avoid the strawberries getting watery.
