Presidents’ Day Parfait
Ingredients:
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt (or Greek yogurt for a thicker texture)
- 1 cup whipped cream (you can use Cool Whip or make your own)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granola (or your favorite crunchy topping)
- Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetening)
Instructions:
Prepare the Fruit:
- Slice the strawberries into thin pieces.
- Rinse the blueberries and set them aside.
Make the Parfait Layers:
- In a medium bowl, mix the vanilla yogurt with a little honey or maple syrup if you’d like extra sweetness.
- In another bowl, fold the whipped cream or Cool Whip into the yogurt until smooth and fluffy.
Layer the Parfait:
- In clear glasses or mason jars, start by spooning a layer of the yogurt-whipped cream mixture into the bottom.
- Add a layer of strawberries, then a layer of granola.
- Add a layer of blueberries, and repeat the layers until the glass is full.
- Top with a little extra whipped cream, a few berries, and a drizzle of honey or syrup for a touch of sweetness.
Serve:
- Chill the parfaits for 30 minutes before serving, or serve them right away for a cool, refreshing treat.
You can also use other fruits like raspberries or blackberries for the red and blue layers.
If you’re feeling extra festive, add a few decorative sprinkles in red, white, and blue on top!
This would be a great way to celebrate Presidents’ Day with a delicious and easy dessert. Enjoy!
