Description

A refreshing and healthy layered parfait featuring crunchy granola, sweet honeydew and cantaloupe melon, creamy Greek yogurt, and a touch of honey, beautifully scented with vanilla bean. Perfect for a light breakfast or snack that combines textures and flavors in a visually appealing stack.


Ingredients

Scale

Melon and Granola

  • 2 cups Granola
  • 1/4 cup Honeydew Melon, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup Cantaloupe, finely diced
  • Honey, to taste

Toppings

  • 1 dollop Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Vanilla Bean Pod

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Melons: Finely dice the honeydew melon and cantaloupe, placing each separately in small bowls alongside the granola.
  2. Add Honey Binder: Drizzle honey over each bowl of fruit and granola to lightly sweeten and act as a binder, then stir gently to combine.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: Begin by firmly pressing a layer of granola into your serving ring mold or container. Next, add a layer of honeydew melon, followed by another pressed layer of granola, and finish with a layer of cantaloupe.
  4. Remove the Ring: Carefully slide off the ring mold while pressing lightly on top to keep the stack intact, ensuring the layers hold together well.
  5. Top and Scent: Finish your granola and melon stack with a dollop of Greek yogurt and scent it by rubbing or infusing with a vanilla bean pod for an aromatic touch. Serve immediately and enjoy with someone special or treat yourself!

Notes

  • Use a tamper or the bottom of a flat spoon to compress each granola layer firmly to help the stack hold shape.
  • Adjust honey quantity to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt for a vegan option.
  • Chilling the layered stack briefly before serving can help it set better.
  • If a ring mold is not available, layer gently in a clear glass for a parfait effect.
