Creamy yogurt, fresh strawberries, and granola layered in bite-sized portions served in shot glasses.

# Ingredient List:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely diced
02 - 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, optional for sweetening strawberries

# Recipe Steps:

01 - In a small bowl, toss diced strawberries with sugar if using. Let sit for 5 minutes to macerate and release juices.
02 - In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup until smooth and sweetened to your preference.
03 - Place 1 tablespoon of yogurt mixture in the bottom of each shot glass.
04 - Distribute strawberries over the yogurt, approximately 1 teaspoon per glass.
05 - Sprinkle approximately 1 tablespoon of granola over the strawberries.
06 - Repeat with another layer of yogurt, strawberries, and finish with a granola layer.
07 - Top each parfait with a fresh mint leaf if desired.
08 - Serve immediately for optimal texture and crunchiness.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They look fancier than they have any right to be, which means you can impress people in under fifteen minutes flat.
  • The contrast between creamy yogurt and crunchy granola is genuinely addictive, and you control exactly how much sweetness you want.
  • Shot glasses make portion control feel like a treat instead of a limitation.
02 -
  • Assemble these as close to serving time as possible because granola respects no timeline and will absorb moisture within an hour, turning from crispy to sad, no matter how many times someone tells you it won't.
  • The ratio that actually works is less yogurt and more granola than you'd guess; the yogurt acts as glue, and granola is the reason people eat these things.
03 -
  • Use the smallest spoons you own because eating from a shot glass with a regular spoon feels awkward, but a tiny spoon feels intentional and fun.
  • Buy strawberries the day you plan to make these because they release more juice as they age, which sounds good in theory but actually makes assembly messier.
