    What is Strawberry Parfait

    Strawberry parfait is a cold dessert made of layers of fruit, yogurt, granola, and whipped cream. It’s very versatile as you can omit or change the layers and use whatever fruit or add-ins you have on hand.

    It’s getting hot here and I’m really craving summery desserts. And parfaits are just perfect summer treats. They require no cooking or baking and are ready in less than 20 minutes.

    How to make Strawberry Parfait

    For this parfait, I pureed the strawberries and the mango, but you can just cut the fruit and add it. I prefer fresh fruit, haven’t tried with frozen. Anyway, a layer of semi-frozen fruit would be a great idea, in the pick of the summer.

    • Start with a layer of fresh strawberries, cut or pureed, as you wish. Both ways taste delicious.
    • Dollop about 3 tablespoons of coconut yogurt. Almond yogurt, cashew yogurt, and soy yogurt are some other alternatives if you’re not a fan of coconut yogurt.
    • Now, add a layer of crunchy granola mixed with cocoa nibs.
    • Then, goes the layer of mango.
    • And, on top of the mango, I added some more granola mixed with cocoa nibs.
    • Finally, top the parfait with 2-3 dollops of whipped coconut cream, and decorate with halved strawberries.
    • Parfait is amazing served cold, especially in the summer. Let it sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Remove from the fridge 15 minutes before serving.

    Parfait variations

    Blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries are also suitable alternatives. Adding some coconut sugar to the berries helps release their juices, which makes the parfait even more delicious.  

    Bananas and pineapple are excellent for making parfait too. They are naturally sweet, so just perfect if you’re looking for a sugar-free parfait.

      This is so pretty and so easy to assemble. I love the idea of using strawberry puree at the bottom. Makes it easier to scoop everything in one spoon.

        Hi Sandhya, yes, that’s the idea. Although I just slice them sometimes, the parfait is delicious both ways. Thanks for commenting!

      Delicious parfait recipe. I add some chia seeds to the yogurt and a small amount of sunflower seeds to give it some crunch a little nutrition boost. Very good recipe.

      My husband makes this parfait for my daughter as their “daddy daughter” cooking every weekend. He adds chopped walnuts too and they both think it’s heaven on earth.

      I made this strawberry parfait to eat for breakfast this week because I’m trying to cut down on my carb intake. It was so filling and tasty that I think this will be a go-to for me. I’ll just swap the berries to make it new every week.
