Servings 2
Ingredients
- 2 cups (300g) diced fresh strawberries
- Zest of 1 medium sized lemon
- 3 tbsp white sugar
- 1/2 cup (120ml) double/heavy cream
- 1 cup (250g) natural yoghurt/Greek yoghurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (115g) white cake, pound cake/Madeira etc. cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup (60g) granola
- Basil/mint to garnish, optional
Instructions
- Place the strawberries, lemon zest and sugar into a medium sized bowl. Stir to coat the berries in sugar and then leave to one side.
- Place the cream into a medium sized bowl and whisk until it reaches soft peak. You want it to just hold its shape. Fold in the yoghurt and vanilla extract and mix until well combined and smooth.
- Start to assemble: take 2 large or 4 small glasses/jars and spoon some of the fruit mixture (which should now be glossy and have a sauce) into the bottom of your glasses.
- Add a layer of the yoghurt mixture, a layer of cake cubes, then layer fruit, cream and cake again. Finish your parfaits with cream and then fruit. Sprinkle granola on the top, garnish with a strawberry and mint/basil. Then, dig in!
- Strawberry and Lemon Parfaits will keep covered, in the fridge, for 2 days.
Notes
VARIATIONS:
- Omit the cream and use and extra 1/2 cup of yoghurt.
- Omit the cake and use an extra 1/2 cup granola, using the granola to layer in between the fruit and cream.
- Use vanilla yoghurt instead of natural and omit the vanilla extract
