Grape & Yogurt Parfaits

Serves 4 · 15 min prep · 5 min cook

Ingredients

• 3 cups seedless red or black grapes, halved
• 3 cups plain Greek yogurt (whole-milk)
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, torn
• 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

1. 1Rinse the grapes under cool water, pat them thoroughly dry, and halve them so their natural juices release lightly into the layers.
2. 2In a medium bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with the honey and vanilla until smooth, creamy, and lightly sweetened; taste and adjust honey if the yogurt is very tart.
3. 3Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, shaking often, until fragrant and golden; transfer immediately to a plate to cool.
4. 4In four clear glasses or jars, spoon a generous layer of the sweetened yogurt into the bottom of each.
5. 5Add a layer of halved grapes, pressing them gently so some juice seeps into the yogurt below.
6. 6Sprinkle a spoonful of rolled oats and a portion of the toasted almonds over the grapes for crunch and texture contrast.
7. 7Repeat the layers once more—yogurt, grapes, oats, and almonds—finishing with a final scatter of grapes on top.
8. 8Finish each parfait with lemon zest and a few torn mint leaves for a bright herbal lift that keeps the grapes tasting fresh.
9. 9Chill the assembled parfaits 10 minutes if desired so the oats soften slightly, or serve immediately for maximum crunch.
10. 10Offer extra honey at the table only if needed; the grapes’ natural sweetness should shine through without heavy toppings.
