What's for Dinner Tonight? 🤔

Stop stressing. Get 10 fast recipes that actually work on busy nights.

Free. No spam. Just easy meals.

There is something quietly joyful about assembling a parfait. Each spoonful of yogurt, each tumble of rosy strawberries, each scatter of golden-green pistachios feels intentional and unhurried — a small act of care at the start of a busy day. The strawberries get a five-minute soak in lemon juice and honey, softening slightly and releasing their juices into a glossy, jewel-bright syrup that seeps into every layer. The Greek yogurt, stirred smooth with vanilla and maple syrup, provides a creamy, tangy counterpoint. And the granola and pistachios? They bring that essential crunch that makes you want to eat the whole thing down to the last scrape of the glass.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Damit die Schichten schön sichtbar bleiben, empfiehlt es sich, klare Gläser oder Einmachgläser zu verwenden. Für die beste Textur die Granolaschicht erst kurz vor dem Servieren hinzufügen, damit sie knusprig bleibt und nicht durch die Feuchtigkeit der Erdbeeren oder des Joghurts aufweicht. Die maszerierten Erdbeeren können bis zu einer Stunde im Voraus vorbereitet und im Kühlschrank aufbewahrt werden — so entsteht noch mehr fruchtiger Saft. Den gesüßten Joghurt ebenfalls im Voraus zubereiten und kalt stellen, um die Montage am Morgen noch schneller zu gestalten.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Dieses Rezept lässt sich wunderbar anpassen. Wenn keine Erdbeeren verfügbar sind, können Himbeeren oder eine Mischung aus verschiedenen Beeren verwendet werden. Für eine vegane Variante einfach pflanzlichen Joghurt und glutenfreies Granola verwenden — so ist das Rezept auch für Menschen mit Unverträglichkeiten geeignet. Wer es etwas dekadenter mag, kann eine dünne Schicht Schokoladensauce zwischen die Schichten träufeln für eine dessertartige Note. Als festlicher Brunch-Genuss harmoniert das Parfait wunderbar mit einem Glas Rosé-Sekt.

Dieses Parfait eignet sich hervorragend als elegantes Frühstück, leichter Brunch oder erfrischender Snack am Nachmittag. Am besten direkt nach der Zubereitung servieren, um die knusprige Granolasschicht zu genießen. Für ein festliches Arrangement auf einem Tablett mit frischen Minzeblättern und extra Pistazien anrichten. Auch als Teil eines Buffets für Gäste macht das Parfait in kleinen Gläsern eine hervorragende Figur.
