Description

A no-cook, easy-to-assemble summer dessert featuring layers of fresh strawberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and crunchy granola. Perfect for hot days when you want something sweet without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

1 pint (450g) fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1–2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
2 cups (450g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1 cup (100g) granola
Fresh mint leaves (optional garnish)
Chia seeds (optional)
Basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

Wash strawberries, pat dry, and remove green tops.
Hull about half the strawberries and mash them in a small bowl using a fork.
Add lemon juice and sugar to the mashed berries, stir well, and let sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate.
In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and honey until combined.
To assemble, start with a layer of yogurt at the bottom of a clear glass.
Add a layer of the strawberry mixture (including juices).
Add a layer of granola.
Repeat layers: yogurt, strawberries, granola.
Finish with a final dollop of yogurt on top.
Garnish with fresh berries, mint, or a drizzle of honey and serve immediately.

Notes

For best texture, add granola just before serving to prevent sogginess. If using runny yogurt, strain it in a cheesecloth for 30 minutes. You can prep the yogurt and berry components up to 3 days in advance, but assemble shortly before eating. Do not freeze assembled parfaits.
