Sweet summer bliss! Fresh peaches, creamy vanilla yogurt, and crunchy granola come together in perfect harmony in this deliciously simple parfait recipe.

It’s the perfect treat to beat the heat, and with just a few ingredients, you can create a stunning dessert that’s sure to impress.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe peaches, sliced into 1/2-inch thick wedges
• 1 1/2 cups vanilla yogurt
• 1/2 cup granola
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 parfait glasses or tall clear cups

Instructions

Start by preparing your parfait glasses or tall clear cups by giving them a quick rinse and drying them with a clean towel.

Next, in a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Set aside for now.

In another bowl, mix together the vanilla yogurt and honey until well combined.

Now, it’s time to assemble the parfaits! Begin by spooning a layer of yogurt mixture into the bottom of each glass, followed by a layer of sliced peaches.

Sprinkle a spoonful of granola over the peaches, then top with a dollop of the whipped cream mixture.

Repeat the layers one more time, ending with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Finally, serve immediately and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 2 hours before serving again.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture – you can even use other fruits like berries or bananas if peaches aren’t in season.

Make sure to chill your vanilla yogurt and heavy cream in the refrigerator before assembling the parfaits, it’ll help the whipped cream hold its shape better.

You can customize the parfait glasses with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of extra granola on top for a fun touch.

To make ahead, prepare the yogurt mixture and whipped cream up to a day in advance, store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator.

Feel free to substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk if you prefer a lighter whipped cream.

Granola can be homemade or store-bought, whichever you prefer – just be sure to crush it up a bit so it’s not too chunky in the parfaits.

You can easily double or triple this recipe if you need to serve a bigger crowd – just remember to adjust the assembly time accordingly.
