These easy, romantic parfait cups feature creamy Greek yogurt sweetened with honey, juicy macerated strawberries, and crunchy granola, layered for a beautiful and delicious dessert perfect for date night or a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or maple syrup (optional, for macerating berries)
  • 1/2 cup granola
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Hull and slice the strawberries. Place in a medium bowl, add lemon juice and sugar or maple syrup. Toss gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until juicy.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
  3. Spoon 2 tablespoons of yogurt into the bottom of each glass. Add a layer of macerated strawberries, followed by granola. Repeat layers until glasses are full, finishing with yogurt and strawberries on top.
  4. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts over the last layer. Garnish with mint leaves or a heart-shaped strawberry slice if desired.
  5. Chill cups in the fridge for 10-15 minutes for a firmer texture, or serve immediately.
  6. Enjoy fresh for best texture; if making ahead, add granola just before serving.

Notes

For best results, use thick Greek yogurt and ripe strawberries. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. You can substitute coconut or almond yogurt for dairy-free, and gluten-free granola for gluten-free. Taste strawberries before adding sugar; adjust sweetness as needed. Chill parfaits for firmer texture if desired.
