Description
A refreshing and wholesome yogurt parfait made with gelatin jelly, creamy Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, and topped with chopped almonds and mint. Perfect for a light and elegant treat.
Ingredients
Gelatin Jelly
- 3 oz gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup room temperature water
Parfait Layers
- 1 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 4-6 strawberries, sliced
- 1 tbsp chopped almonds
- A little fresh mint to serve
Instructions
- Prepare the gelatin mixture: Pour the gelatin powder into a bowl and add 1/2 cup of room temperature water. Let it stand for 15 minutes to allow the gelatin to absorb the water and expand.
- Heat the gelatin: Place the bowl with the gelatin mixture into the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute, or alternatively, use a water bath to gently heat it. Then, transfer the mixture to a whisking glass and place that glass in a bowl of ice water. Whip it until the gelatin transforms into a white, jelly-like consistency.
- Set the jelly in glasses: Pour the whipped gelatin jelly into individual parfait or stemless wine glasses. Chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until firm.
- Arrange strawberries: Slice the strawberries and carefully arrange them around the edges of the set gelatin in each glass to create a beautiful presentation.
- Fill with yogurt: Spoon the creamy Greek yogurt into the center of each glass, filling it all the way to the top.
- Garnish and serve: Decorate the top with fresh sliced strawberries, a sprinkle of chopped almonds, and a few mint leaves for a fresh and colorful finish.
Notes
- Use cold water to bloom the gelatin properly for best texture.
- Fresh strawberries and mint not only enhance flavor but also add vibrant visual appeal.
- Greek yogurt provides a creamy texture and adds protein to the parfait.
- Allow gelatin jelly to set completely before adding strawberries and yogurt to avoid mixing layers.
- Can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve.
