These Patriotic Parfaits are a fresh, flavorful, and visually stunning summer dessert featuring layers of juicy strawberries and blueberries, creamy sweetened Greek yogurt or whipped cream, and crunchy granola or crumbled cookies. Perfect for quick assembly and festive gatherings, they deliver a light and refreshing patriotic treat that’s easy to customize and enjoy.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • Fresh Strawberries (sliced, to taste)
  • Blueberries (to taste)

Creamy Layer

  • Greek Yogurt (approx. 1 cup)
  • Honey or Maple Syrup (1–2 tablespoons, to sweeten)
  • Whipped Cream (optional, for topping)

Crunchy Layer

  • Granola or Crumbled Cookies (½ to 1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and dry the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly. Slice the strawberries into thin, even pieces to create uniform layers that look beautiful in the glass.
  2. Sweeten the Yogurt: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added natural sweetness. Stir gently until smooth and creamy.
  3. Layer the Parfait: Start by placing a layer of strawberries at the bottom of your clear glass or jar, followed by a layer of the sweetened yogurt. Next, add a sprinkle of granola, then a layer of blueberries. Repeat these layers until the container is filled, finishing with fresh berries on top.
  4. Add Final Touches: Top the parfait with a small spoonful of whipped cream or an extra sprinkle of granola and berries for that festive flair that catches the eye and whets the appetite.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor.
  • Layer ingredients carefully to keep the parfait visually appealing.
  • Keep ingredients cold before assembling to maintain freshness.
  • Adjust honey or maple syrup to your desired sweetness.
  • Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours for best taste.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours.
  • Do not freeze parfaits as texture will be compromised.
  • For vegan versions, use coconut or almond milk yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
