CRANBERRY PARFAITS

I found a recipe for lime parfaits online. This recipe has gotten me a lot of praise. I was racking my brain for a Thanksgiving dessert and tried several different ways to create a variation of the lime parfait. I tried pomegranate and cranberry juice first, both 100%. They were too wet. So, I had a light in my head go off and thought I should try cranberry sauce instead. It worked so well! I even added it to the real whipped cream I whipped up and it was delicious.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups plain yogurt
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar
1 (10-ounce) can whole cranberry sauce
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • Add the yogurt to a coffee filter or doubled paper towels lined in a fine sieve. Let drain over a bowl for at least 1 hour or up to overnight in the refrigerator. Discard the accumulated liquid on the bottom of the bowl. Add the drained yogurt to the bowl and stir in the marmalade. In a separate bowl, whip the cream with a beater until it begins to thicken. Add the vanilla and sugar and continue to whip until soft peaks just begin to form. Add the cranberry sauce to a medium bowl. Stir half of the cream into the cranberry sauce along with the orange juice and orange zest and mix gently. Add the other half of the cream to the bowl with the yogurt mixture. Layer the yogurt and the cranberry mixtures in 4 parfait glasses or wine glasses, and top with a sprinkle of chopped pecans. Chill before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh cranberries. This will ensure that your parfaits are bursting with flavor.
  • If you don't have any orange zest, you can substitute lemon zest. Just be sure to use half the amount, as lemon zest is more potent.
  • If you want a sweeter parfait, you can add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the cranberry mixture.
  • If you're making these parfaits ahead of time, be sure to assemble them just before serving. The yogurt and granola will soften the graham crackers if they sit too long.
  • Garnish your parfaits with fresh cranberries, orange zest, or a sprinkle of granola.

Conclusion:

Graham cranberry parfaits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're packed with flavor and nutrients, and they're sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying treat, give these parfaits a try!
