Instructions
-
Prepare the Strawberries
Start by washing the strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice the strawberries into quarters, making sure the pieces are uniform in size. This ensures even marination and presentation. -
Sweeten the Strawberries
Place the chopped strawberries in a large mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of honey to the strawberries and toss gently to combine. Let the strawberries rest in the honey mixture for about 10 minutes. During this time, the strawberries will release their natural juices, which will add extra flavor and sweetness to the parfait. -
Prepare the Yogurt Layer
While the strawberries are resting, prepare the Greek yogurt (hung curd). If you don’t have hung curd, regular Greek yogurt works perfectly fine as well. For extra creaminess, you can whisk the yogurt to soften it slightly and make it even more velvety. -
Assemble the Parfait
Once the strawberries have rested and released their juices, it’s time to assemble the parfait. You’ll need 4 small serving bowls or glasses for this step. Start by spooning a layer of the creamy Greek yogurt into the bottom of each glass. Follow it by a layer of honeyed strawberries with their natural juices. Continue layering by alternating the yogurt and strawberries until you’ve filled the glass. -
Top with Granola
After layering the yogurt and strawberries, sprinkle a generous amount of granola on top. The granola adds a delicious crunch that contrasts perfectly with the creamy yogurt and juicy strawberries, giving each spoonful a delightful texture. -
Serve and Enjoy
Serve your Strawberry Yogurt Breakfast Parfait immediately or refrigerate for a while before serving. It’s great for a quick breakfast or even as a mid-morning snack. For a more substantial meal, pair it with hearty Vegetable Paratha Rolls or Whole Wheat Apple Muffins for a wholesome, energizing start to your day.
Serving Suggestions
- With a Side of Paratha Rolls: Pair the parfait with some warm Vegetable Paratha Rolls for a balanced meal.
- Add Fresh Fruits: Feel free to add other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or banana slices to the parfait for more variety and flavor.
- Make it Vegan: If you’re looking for a vegan alternative, you can replace the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or almond-based yogurt, and choose a vegan-friendly granola.
