Chef's Note

For the best texture contrast, toast the nuts just before assembling the parfaits. You can prepare the yogurt mixture and cut the fruit a day ahead, but layer everything together no more than 2 hours before serving. If you prefer a less sweet parfait, reduce the honey and add more fresh berries.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios)

  • 2 cups fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

  • 1 cup granola

  • 1/3 cup dried apricots, chopped

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 2 tablespoons flaxseeds

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions
  • 1

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast 1 cup of mixed nuts until fragrant and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  • 2

    Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet with the nuts. Once melted, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom. Stir to coat evenly and toast for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

  • 3

    Once cooled, roughly chop the spiced nuts, leaving some larger pieces for texture.

  • 4

    In a medium bowl, combine 3 cups of Greek yogurt with 3 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

  • 5

    Prepare the berry mixture by combining 2 cups of fresh berries with 1 tablespoon of honey. Gently toss to coat.

  • 6

    In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of granola with 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds and 1/3 cup of chopped dried apricots.

  • 7

    To assemble each parfait, start with a layer of the honey-yogurt mixture (about 1/3 cup) at the bottom of each serving glass.

  • 8

    Add a layer of the granola mixture (about 2 tablespoons) on top of the yogurt.

  • 9

    Add a layer of the honey-coated berries (about 2 tablespoons).

  • 10

    Repeat the layers once more, starting with yogurt, then granola, then berries.

  • 11

    Top each parfait with a final layer of yogurt, a drizzle of the remaining honey (about 1 teaspoon per parfait), and a generous sprinkle of the spiced toasted nuts.

  • 12

    Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving (keep the granola separate until serving if preparing in advance to maintain crunchiness).
