A parfait looks like effort but takes almost none. It's yogurt, fruit and granola, but layering it in a glass turns those same ingredients into something that reads as a proper dish rather than a snack eaten standing at the fridge.

Full-fat Greek yogurt is worth seeking out here. The texture is the point.

Ingredients

  • 400g (1¾ cups) thick Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, plus more to finish
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200g (1½ cups) mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 100g (1 cup) granola
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Stir the yogurt with the honey and vanilla until smooth.
  2. In two tall glasses or jars, spoon a layer of yogurt, then berries, then granola. Repeat until the glasses are full.
  3. Finish with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of chia seeds.
  4. Eat immediately for the crunchiest granola, or assemble the night before without the granola and add it just before serving.

Cooking tips

  • Frozen berries work — let them thaw on the counter for 10 minutes so they release their juices.
  • Toast your granola in a dry pan for 2 minutes to wake up the flavour if it has been sitting in the cupboard.
  • A spoonful of nut butter stirred through the yogurt makes this even more filling.
