🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, let's prep those tangerines! Peel them carefully, and then segment them—this means separating each little piece of tangerine from the membranes. It's a bit fiddly, but worth it for the pretty presentation! (And who doesn't love a good tangerine peel-off sesh?)
- Now, get that yogurt ready. If you're using plain yogurt, this is your chance to jazz it up. A little vanilla extract goes a long way. Or, how about a dash of cinnamon? Or maybe even a teeny pinch of cardamom? The possibilities are endless, my friend. Don't be afraid to experiment!
- Next, we assemble our magnificent parfait! Grab your glass or bowl (fancy ones always help the cause, right?). Start with a layer of yogurt. A good dollop will do. About 1/4 cup should be perfect. Don't forget to make it look pretty. Make a swirl!
- Now, top that yogurt with some tangerine segments. A few will do the trick. We want the tangerine to shine without completely overwhelming the yogurt. A nice balance, that's the key.
- Then, add a sprinkle of granola. We're talking a small handful here. The granola provides a delightful textural contrast, plus a tiny bit of crunch. Go for a mix with different textures if possible; it adds interest. It's a party in your mouth!
- Repeat steps 3-5 to create more layers of yumminess! How many layers is up to you; three makes a nice-sized parfait. But go wild if you’re feeling ambitious. More layers means more yum!
- Once you're happy with your magnificent creation, give it a final flourish! A sprig of mint, a dusting of powdered sugar, or perhaps a drizzle of honey would take this parfait to the next level. A simple garnish goes a long way, you know?
- Now, the moment of truth—grab your spoon and dig in! But wait...take a moment before you eat. Admire your amazing artistic efforts. You deserve it!
- Enjoy your amazing creation! Share it on your Instagram stories and let me know how it went!
📝 Notes
- If using very juicy tangerines, you may want to drain some of the excess juice before layering.
- For a richer flavor, you can use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of granola and add other toppings, such as berries, nuts, or seeds.
