Description

A light and vibrant Cranberry Sauce Parfait with creamy plant-based yogurt and crunchy granola. This nourishing parfait layers tangy cranberry sauce, sweetened yogurt, and nutty granola for a refreshing breakfast, energizing snack, or delightful dessert, customizable to suit any preference.

Ingredients

Cranberry Sauce

  • Fresh or canned homemade cranberry sauce with natural gelling agent, about 1 cup
  • Natural sweetener, to taste
  • Water, as needed for simmering

Yogurt Layer

  • Plant-based yogurt, 2 cups
  • Maple syrup (natural), 2 tablespoons
  • Vanilla extract (natural), 1 teaspoon

Granola and Toppings

  • Lightly sweetened crunchy granola, 1 cup
  • Chopped walnuts or almonds (optional), 1/4 cup
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cranberry sauce: If using fresh cranberries, gently simmer them with natural sweetener and a little water, adding natural gelling agent to achieve perfect spreadability. Cook until cranberries burst and sauce thickens. Let cool completely before layering.
  2. Sweeten and flavor the yogurt: Stir maple syrup (natural) and vanilla extract (natural) into the plant-based yogurt. Adjust sweetness to your preference to create a creamy, flavorful base.
  3. Layer the parfait: In clear glasses or jars, spoon a layer of cranberry sauce, followed by a generous amount of the flavored yogurt, and then sprinkle granola on top. Repeat these layers until container is filled, finishing with granola as the top layer.
  4. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped nuts if using and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest crunch and vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Choose thick plant-based yogurt to maintain distinct layers and prevent mixing.
  • Prepare the cranberry sauce a day in advance to allow flavors to meld beautifully.
  • Add granola just before serving or keep it separate to preserve its crunch.
  • Use a small spoon or piping bag for neat and visually appealing layering.
  • Adjust sweetness of each component to balance the tart cranberry sauce for a harmonious taste.
