Delicious Mulberry Vanilla Parfait Recipe for Summer Treats

Print Recipe

This Mulberry Vanilla Parfait is a refreshing summer treat that captures the essence of lazy afternoons spent in the garden. Layered with creamy yogurt, sweet-tart mulberries, and crunchy granola, it’s a delightful dessert that is easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen mulberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh mulberries for garnish
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by making the mulberry compote. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of mulberries, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine.
  2. Cook the mixture for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll know it’s ready when the mulberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Avoid boiling it vigorously to prevent burning.
  3. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and let the compote cool for about 10 minutes. This step is crucial; if you skip it, the yogurt will melt when layered.
  4. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  5. Once the compote has cooled slightly, it’s time to assemble your parfait. Grab your serving glasses or bowls. Start by adding a couple of spoonfuls of the vanilla yogurt at the bottom of each glass.
  6. Add a layer of the mulberry compote on top of the yogurt. Use a spoon to create a beautiful swirl effect if desired—this adds visual interest!
  7. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of granola over the compote layer for added crunch. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of yogurt on top.
  8. For a finishing touch, garnish with fresh mulberries and mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture, or chill in the fridge for up to 1 hour before serving.

Nutrition

Keywords: When making the mulberry compote, be careful not to overcook it. You want a thick consistency, but if it becomes too gel-like, it can detract from the parfait's overall texture. Adjust the yogurt-to-granola ratio to your preference for the best texture.
