Helpful Tips
If you need a non-alcoholic version, simply substitute the limoncello with a mixture of lemon juice and additional honey for a sweet-tangy twist. For a nut-free option, use granola that does not contain nuts or make your own at home. This recipe is highly flexible, so feel free to use your favorite seasonal fruits to keep it exciting.
Storage Instructions
This parfait is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you need to prepare it in advance, you can assemble the yogurt mixture and keep it refrigerated for up to 2 days. Avoid combining the granola and fruits until you are ready to serve to prevent sogginess.
Pairings and Complementary Dishes
Pair your Limoncello Yogurt Parfait with a light, crisp Prosecco or a soothing herbal tea like chamomile. This parfait also works wonderfully as a dessert after a savory brunch featuring frittatas or avocado toast.
