  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Berry Mixture

  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or granulated sugar)
  • 2 mint leaves (optional)

Lemon Whipped Yogurt

  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berry Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon honey or granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil while whisking until the honey or sugar dissolves completely. Remove the saucepan from heat, add 2 mint leaves, and let the mixture steep and cool for 5 to 10 minutes to infuse the flavors into the berries.
  2. Make the Lemon Whipped Yogurt: Place 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract into a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or use a handheld mixer. Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to high. Continue whipping for several minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary, until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and creamy.
  3. Assemble the Parfaits: Divide the lemon whipped yogurt evenly into 4 small bowls, glasses, or jars. Spoon the cooled lemon-honey berry mixture over the yogurt layers. Garnish each parfait with fresh mint leaves if desired for a refreshing aroma and presentation.
  4. Serve: Serve the parfaits immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use fresh berries for the best flavor, but frozen berries can be thawed and drained if necessary.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or sugar according to your taste preference.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt, though the texture will be less fluffy.
  • Mint leaves are optional but add a lovely fresh note and visual appeal.
  • The parfaits are best enjoyed the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
