Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Granola
Start by making the granola. First, rinse and soak the raisins in hot water for about 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze out the excess water. Chop the pecan nuts coarsely. In a pan, combine the oats, soaked raisins, and muscovado sugar. Mix them well, then toast the mixture in a pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Set it aside to cool.
Step 2: Make the Yogurt Cream
To prepare the yogurt cream, blend the frozen banana pieces, Greek yogurt, and oats in a blender. Add the frozen blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Blend everything until smooth and creamy. This creates a deliciously rich yogurt base.
Step 3: Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the fresh cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture using a spatula. This step ensures the cream is airy and light. Let the yogurt mixture rest in the fridge for at least an hour to set.
Step 4: Assemble the Parfait
While the yogurt cream is chilling, fill a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle (around 6mm in diameter) with Nutella®. Now, it’s time to assemble the parfaits. Start by layering a spoonful of granola at the bottom of each glass. Then, pipe in a layer of the creamy yogurt mixture. Add another layer of yogurt cream, followed by fresh berries like raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Finally, pipe a decorative swirl of Nutella® on the side of each glass.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Finish off each parfait with a raspberry, a few blueberries, a sprinkle of granola, and a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color. The parfaits are now ready to enjoy!
Tips:
- You can make the granola and yogurt mixture ahead of time for quicker assembly.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and the fresh cream with coconut cream.
- Feel free to adjust the berry mix according to what’s available or in season for a fresh twist.
This dessert is sure to be a hit, whether it’s for a casual gathering, a special occasion, or a sweet treat to enjoy any time!
