Tips:

  • The author suggests using frozen berries instead of fresh ones for a more intense flavor.
  • It is important to let the yogurt and cream cheese mixture chill for at least 30 minutes before assembling the parfaits. This will help the mixture to set and hold its shape.
  • For a more decadent parfait, use whipped cream instead of plain yogurt.
  • If you are using a granola that contains nuts or dried fruit, be sure to chop them into small pieces so that they don't get stuck in the parfait layers.
  • Feel free to get creative with your parfait toppings. Some other ideas include: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of honey.
