Easy 3-Ingredient Patriotic Parfait Recipe for a Fresh Summer Treat

Easy 3-Ingredient Patriotic Parfait - featured image

A quick and simple parfait featuring fresh strawberries, blueberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and crunchy granola, perfect for summer celebrations and last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Plain Greek yogurt (about 2 cups / 475 ml)
  • Granola (about 1 cup / 240 ml)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berries (5 minutes): Rinse the strawberries and blueberries under cold water. Hull and slice the strawberries into thin pieces. Gently pat the berries dry with a paper towel to avoid watery parfaits.
  2. Toss the Berries (2 minutes): In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and blueberries. Give them a gentle toss to mix. No sugar or syrup needed here — the natural sweetness will shine.
  3. Layer the Parfait (3-5 minutes): Begin by spooning about 2 tablespoons (30 g) of plain Greek yogurt into the bottom of your glass or jar. Follow with a layer of mixed berries (about 2 tablespoons / 30 g), then sprinkle a tablespoon (15 g) of granola on top. Repeat these layers until you fill the glass, finishing with a berry or two on top for a festive look.
  4. Chill or Serve Immediately: You can enjoy the parfait right away or cover and refrigerate it for up to an hour. Chilling lets the flavors meld, but be sure to add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy.

Notes

Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. For dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained well. Optional flavor boosts include a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Layer yogurt first to prevent granola from getting soggy.
