Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Frozen Yogurt Parfaits to Make Ahead.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients in a tidy workspace, setting the stage for a delightful culinary adventure.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine fresh raspberries with half a cup of white sugar.
Step 3
Grab a potato masher and gently crush the raspberries until they transform into a luscious puree.
Step 4
Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour; this allows the sweet and tangy flavors to mingle beautifully.
Step 5
After the hour has passed, take a fine mesh strainer and carefully strain the berry puree to remove any pesky seeds.
Step 6
Stir in some vibrant blueberries and pop the mixture into the refrigerator until you’re ready to create your parfaits.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, whisk together creamy yogurt, a splash of vanilla extract, zesty lemon peel, and the remaining sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, almost like a cloud.
Step 8
For easy assembly later, transfer this delightful yogurt blend into a piping bag and chill it in the fridge.
Step 9
Now, let’s bring your parfaits to life! Start by adding two tablespoons of crunchy granola to an 8-ounce jar or a similar container.
Step 10
Next, layer on two tablespoons of your berry mixture, making sure some of that gorgeous sauce touches the sides of the jar for a stunning visual effect.
Step 11
Follow this with two generous spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture.
Step 12
Repeat this layering process two more times, creating a total of three beautiful layers, and finish with a dollop of yogurt on top.
Step 13
If you have any leftover fruit or sauce, feel free to use it as a garnish for that extra touch of flair.
Step 14
Once your jars are beautifully assembled, place them in the freezer and let them freeze until solid, which will take about eight hours or overnight for the best results.
Step 15
When you’re ready to indulge, simply remove the parfaits from the freezer and let them sit for a few minutes to soften slightly.
Step 16
Then, dig in and savor the deliciousness of your homemade frozen yogurt parfaits! Enjoy every creamy, fruity bite of this refreshing treat!.
