Ever find yourself craving something that’s both delightful and somewhat wholesome? Perhaps something that dances on the palate while whispering sweet nothings to your health goals? Well, my friend, you’ve stumbled upon the right place. Today, we're diving headfirst into the world of the Raspberry Rose Hibiscus Parfait – a symphony of flavors that's as beautiful to look at as it is to devour. Seriously, this isn't just a dessert; it's an experience!
The journey to this culinary masterpiece started on a rather gloomy Tuesday. I was staring out my window, watching the rain pitter-patter against the glass, feeling utterly uninspired. Then, a vibrant packet of hibiscus tea caught my eye, and suddenly, an idea sparked. Why not blend floral elegance with the tangy allure of raspberries? And so, the Raspberry Rose Hibiscus Parfait was born. (Okay, maybe not exactly like that, but you get the gist!). The interplay of tart raspberries, fragrant rose, and the unique zest of hibiscus creates a flavour profile I think you'll adore. I know it sounds fancy, but trust me, it's super easy to put together. You won't be dissapointed, I hope.
This parfait isn't just a treat; it’s a versatile player in your culinary repertoire. Need a show-stopping dessert for a dinner party? Check! Craving a light yet satisfying breakfast? Double-check!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberry Compote: In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook the Compote: Let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, or until the raspberries have broken down and the compote has thickened slightly. It should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. I like to pop it in the fridge to speed this up.
- Make the Hibiscus Yogurt: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), hibiscus tea (cooled), and rose water until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Adding a pinch of salt really brings out the flavors!
- Layer the Parfaits: In tall glasses or parfait dishes, begin by layering a spoonful of granola at the bottom. This gives the parfait a lovely crunch.
- Add Yogurt and Compote: Next, add a layer of the hibiscus yogurt, followed by a layer of the raspberry compote. Repeat these layers, alternating between granola, yogurt, and compote, until you reach the top of the glass. A little tip: press gently when layering to make sure the lines are really neat!
- Garnish (Optional): Garnish the parfaits with fresh raspberries, a sprinkle of rose petals, or a dusting of hibiscus powder for an extra touch of elegance. These not only look great but add a nice bit of texture.
- Chill and Serve: For best results, chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
📝 Notes
- Adjust sweetness and tartness to your liking by adding more honey or lemon juice.
- For a creamier parfait, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
- If you don’t have fresh rose petals, dried edible rose petals work just as well for garnish.
