Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup bran flakes, divided
1/2 pint (8-ounces) heavy cream
1 (8-ounce) container plain yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup seedless red grapes, halved
2/3 cup seedless white grapes, halved
2/3 cup blueberries
2 bananas
1 lime
2/3 cup raspberries
3/4 cup hazelnut and chocolate paste (recommended: Nutella)
6 sprigs fresh mint

Steps:

  • Spoon 1/8 cup bran flakes into the bottom of 6 parfait glasses. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, and set aside briefly. In another bowl, use an electric mixer to whip together yogurt, honey, and cream cheese. Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese-yogurt mixture. Spoon 1/4 cup of the cream mixture on top of the bran flakes in each glass. In another bowl, combine, red and white grapes, and blueberries. Slice in bananas and squeeze lime juice on top to prevent oxidation. Gently fold in raspberries. Spoon 1/4 cup of the fruit over the cream in each glass. Then repeat with 1/4 cup layer of cream followed by another 1/4 cup layer of fruit. Spoon 1/8 cup hazelnut and chocolate paste on top of the second fruit layer and garnish with mint sprigs.

YOGURT PARFAIT WITH MULLED RED WINE SYRUP, ORANGES, AND ALMONDS



Yogurt Parfait with Mulled Red Wine Syrup, Oranges, and Almonds image

Another parfait idea, using the same principle and base (Greek-style yogurt) but different accompanying layers. Feel free to use higher-fat yogurt if desired. I like to use Cara Cara oranges, those vibrant pink-fleshed ones, but blood oranges are deliciously striking here, and regular navel oranges or ruby red grapefruit are no slouches, either.

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons sliced almonds
1 Cara Cara orange
1/4 cup Mulled Wine Syrup (page 6), made with red wine
1/2 cup fat-free or low-fat Greek-style yogurt

Steps:

  • Toast the almond slices in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until they are lightly browned and begin to smell toasty, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully; nuts can burn quickly. Transfer to a dish to cool.
  • Use a chef's knife to slice off both ends of the orange. Stand the orange on one end, hold it steady with one hand, and slice from the top edge downward along the curve of the fruit, cutting away both the peel and the pith but leaving as much of the flesh as possible. Working over a bowl to catch the juices, hold the orange in one hand and use a paring knife in the other to cut between the sections, detaching each section of fruit from its surrounding membrane. Let the sections fall into the bowl as you work.
  • Drop a few orange sections into the bottom of a large-bowled wineglass or champagne flute. Drizzle with a tablespoon of red wine syrup and top with a few almonds and then 2 or 3 tablespoons of yogurt. Repeat several times until the ingredients are used up, ending with oranges, syrup, and almonds on top if possible, and eat.
