The star ingredient of our chilled peach parfaits is, without a doubt, the fresh peaches. Selecting the perfect peach is crucial to achieving the best flavor and texture in your parfait. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch, with a fragrant aroma and a vibrant, unblemished skin. Ripe peaches will yield to gentle pressure, indicating they are ready to be enjoyed. If you happen to pick peaches that are not quite ripe, simply leave them at room temperature for a few days until they soften.

Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, diced (reserve a few slices for garnish)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup Greek yogurt (you can use plain or vanilla-flavored)

1 cup whipped cream (coconut whipped cream can be used for a dairy-free option)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup granola (choose your favorite variety)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Gently toss the ingredients together until the peaches are well coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

    Mix Yogurt and Cinnamon: In another bowl, blend the Greek yogurt with ground cinnamon until fully incorporated. This adds a warm and aromatic essence that perfectly complements the sweet peaches.

      Whip the Cream: Using a mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Once whipped, carefully fold it into the cinnamon yogurt until they are combined, creating a light and airy mixture.

        Assemble the Parfaits: In clear glasses or dessert cups, start layering your parfait. Begin with a layer of the peach mixture, then add a scoop of the yogurt cream blend, followed by a layer of granola. Repeat these layers until your glasses are full, making sure to finish with a layer of yogurt cream on top.

          Chill: Cover each parfait with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This chilling period allows the flavors to develop while keeping your parfaits refreshing.

            Garnish and Serve: Just before you serve, place a slice of peach on top of each parfait and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and freshness. These delightful chilled treats are perfect for enjoying on a warm, sunny day!
