Servings: 4

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup granola
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange juice, and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the cranberries pop and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Let it cool completely.
  2. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and honey, if using.
  3. In clear serving glasses, layer the parfait by adding a spoonful of cranberry sauce, then a layer of yogurt, and a sprinkle of granola.
  4. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a dollop of yogurt and a garnish of granola.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Helpful Tips

  • For a smoother cranberry sauce, use an immersion blender after cooking.
  • Swap Greek yogurt for coconut or almond yogurt to make it dairy-free.
  • Try adding nuts or seeds for extra crunch.

Storage Instructions

Store the parfaits, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the granola may become less crunchy over time.

Pairings
