Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your delightful Patriotic Parfaits:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and slice the strawberries, and measure out the blueberries and yogurt.
2. Layer the Parfaits: In tall glasses or dessert cups, start by adding a layer of yogurt at the bottom (about 1/4 cup).
3. Add Strawberries: Top the yogurt layer with a layer of sliced strawberries, creating a red layer.
4. Add More Yogurt: Add another layer of yogurt over the strawberries, filling the cup halfway.
5. Add Blueberries: Next, layer fresh blueberries on top of the yogurt, giving a beautiful blue layer.
6. Repeat Layers: Continue to repeat the layers: yogurt, strawberries, yogurt, blueberries, until the cups are filled (ideally leaving space at the top).
7. Finish with Yogurt: On the very top, finish with a dollop of yogurt.
8. Add Granola: If using, sprinkle granola over the top layer of yogurt for added crunch.
9. Drizzle Honey: Optional: Drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the granola for sweetness.
10. Chill (If Desired): Place the parfaits in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill before serving.
11. Garnish: Just before serving, add a mint leaf on top for an extra festive touch.
