Fresh Grape & Yogurt Parfaits
ThemedDessertMediterraneanNo-cookLayered Parfait
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups seedless grapes (red and green mix)
- 1 large crisp apple
- 1 cup roasted kabocha or butternut squash cubes
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/3 cup chopped toasted pistachios
- 1/2 cup granola
- 2 tbsp torn fresh mint leaves
- 1/8 tsp pinch of flaky salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1If the squash is not already roasted, toss small cubes with a drizzle of honey and roast at 400°F for 18 to 20 minutes until tender and caramelized at the edges; cool completely.
- 2Halve the grapes and place them in a bowl with half the lemon juice and salt so they stay juicy and bright.
- 3Core the apple and shave it into thin raw ribbons with a mandoline or sharp peeler. Toss the ribbons immediately with the remaining lemon juice and the lemon zest to prevent browning.
- 4Stir the Greek yogurt with the vanilla, cardamom, and two tablespoons of the honey until smooth and lightly sweetened. Taste and adjust honey if you want it sweeter.
- 5Spoon a layer of the spiced yogurt into the bottom of four clear glasses or jars. Add a layer of apple ribbons, then a few roasted squash cubes, then halved grapes.
- 6Repeat the layers once more, finishing with a final dollop of yogurt on top so the colors show through the glass.
- 7Drizzle the remaining honey over each parfait and scatter the toasted pistachios and granola for crunch.
- 8Tuck torn mint leaves into the top layer just before serving so the herbs stay fragrant. Serve immediately or chill up to 2 hours for a make-ahead no-bake treat.
