Ingredients
Gelatin Mixture
- 3 oz gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup room temperature water
Parfait Layers
- 1 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 4-6 fresh strawberries
- 1 tbsp chopped almonds
- A little mint to serve
Instructions
- Prepare Gelatin: Pour the gelatin powder into a bowl and add 1/2 cup of room temperature water. Let it stand for 15 minutes until the powder absorbs the water and expands. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 1 minute on high or alternatively, use a water bath for gentle heating.
- Whip Gelatin: Transfer the heated gelatin to a whisk glass and place that glass into a bowl of ice water. Whip the gelatin until it forms a white jelly-like texture.
- Chill Gelatin: Pour the whipped gelatin into individual parfait or stemless wine glasses and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until set and firm.
- Prepare Strawberries: Slice the strawberries and arrange them neatly around the edges inside the parfait glasses for an attractive visual effect.
- Assemble Parfait: Fill the center of the glasses with Greek yogurt up to the top.
- Garnish: Add a layer of fresh sliced strawberries, a sprinkle of chopped almonds, and a few mint leaves on top for decoration and extra flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the water used to dissolve gelatin is room temperature to avoid clumps.
- If you don’t have a microwave, gently heat the gelatin mixture over a water bath until fully dissolved.
- For a tart flavor, use plain Greek yogurt. You can sweeten it lightly if desired.
- Chilling time may vary depending on refrigerator temperature; ensure gelatin is fully set before proceeding.
- Use fresh strawberries for the best taste and visual appeal.
