Greek yogurt parfait
You can enjoy this berry parfait any time of day. Whether it for breakfast or as an after-dinner dessert. We love enjoying sweet treats with berries so much that we include them in our berry chantilly cake, strawberry bundt cake, and honey raspberry cake.
Ingredients needed to make this recipe
- Greek yogurt– I love using honey vanilla
- strawberries
- blueberries
- almond granola– you can use plain or vanilla flavored
How to make a parfait
- For this recipe start off by rinsing your berries or fruit and patting them dry.
- Then begin assembling your parfait by layering the chopped berries, greek yogurt, and choice of granola in order. I like to layer the parfait ingredients in stemless wine glasses because it makes it look extra fancy, but you can place them in mason jars for a more vintage look.
What is a parfait?
- Parfait is a semi-frozen French dessert consisting of boiled cream, eggs, and sugar (ice cream) then layered between berries or fruit and sometimes granola.
- In the United States, parfaits are typically made with greek yogurt, berries, and granola.
- Parfait is a common dessert item that can be found at most fast-food joints like Chick-fil-A or Mcdonalds.
Is Greek yogurt good for you?
- Greek yogurt has many health benefits for the body. If you don’t mind it without the sugar, Unsweetened Greek yogurt is packed with protein, calcium, and probiotics which are good bacteria that can help boost your immune system.
What to make with Greek yogurt
Besides this yogurt parfait and berry muesli parfait (video) recipe, Greek yogurt can be used in recipes that are both savory and sweet. If you love incorporating Greek yogurt in your food, give these greek yogurt recipes a try.
- Greek yogurt sauce
- Blueberry smoothie bowl
- Strawberry pineapple popsicles
- Almond chicken lettuce wraps
How long will it keep?
Once you assemble the parfait, its best to enjoy it right away, but you can keep in the fridge for up to 1 day. Just make sure to cover it with plastic wrap if its in a glass cup.
How far in advance can I make a parfait?
To save time, you can chop up your berries or fruit a day in advance and assemble whenever you’re ready to enjoy it. You can always make it the night before and enjoy it fresh out of the fridge the next morning. The granola might not be as crunchy though.

Hi i have tried the recipe. It’s so yummy. However the greek yoghurt that i use kind of runny and messy. How to make the yoghurt can be layered like yours ?
simplyhomecooked says
Hi Fina, I am so happy that you love this parfait recipe! The consistency of the yogurt usually depends on the fat percentage. The low-fat yogurts are usually runnier than the full-fat ones. I usually get full-fat greek yogurt. I hope that helps 🙂

Hello. I like this recipe but I do not have any granola. I think I can make it if you give me the recipe as I have oats at home. Or maybe I can substitute something else for it, like cookies or shortbread? Thank you in advance!
simplyhomecooked says
Hi Stela, If you don’t have any granola then thats ok. You can use many substitutes, however, it might not taste the same. You can use a cereal that is similar to a granola base. You can try adding some crumbly cookies. You can actually make your own granola with oats, but making that depends on your taste buds. Anything that gives it a crunch and not soggy could work. I hope that helps.
Stela says
It sure does, thank you! Do you have any granola recipes you can give me? I have honey and nuts, I suppose that would be the ingredients needed. Thank you!
simplyhomecooked says
Hi Stela, here is a link to a granola recipe that is pretty basic and will go great in this yogurt parfait.https://cookieandkate.com/healthy-granola-recipe/

Marina, have you tried this yet? It’s been three years, and if you haven’t that means you not only lied to Dina, but lied to us all.
