📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Mulberry Compote: In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh mulberries, water, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook the Compote: Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mulberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened slightly. The consistensy should be like a chunky jam.
- Cool the Compote: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh mint leaves. Allow the compote to cool completely. The mint will infuse its flavor as it cools, adding a refreshing touch.
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey (if desired, to taste), and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Layer the Parfaits: Grab your glass jars or parfait glasses. Start by layering a spoonful of Greek yogurt mixture at the bottom of each glass.
- Add Granola: Next, sprinkle a generous layer of your favorite granola over the yogurt. I love using a mix of oats, nuts, and seeds for added texture and flavor!
- Add Mulberry Compote: Spoon a layer of the cooled mulberry compote over the granola. Don't be shy with the compote—it's what brings all the flavors together!
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering the yogurt, granola, and mulberry compote until you reach the top of the glass. For a visually appealing effect, make sure the top layer is the mulberry compote.
- Garnish (Optional): Garnish the parfaits with a few fresh mint leaves and a sprinkle of granola for added flair. This step is totally optional, but it adds a touch of elegance.
- Chill (Optional): If you're not serving the parfaits immediately, cover them with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled (or immediately if you can't wait!), grab a spoon and dig in! The combination of creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and sweet-tart mulberry compote is simply heavenly.
