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

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 oranges. The flavor of the oranges will come through in the shortcakes, so it's important to use the best oranges you can find.
  • Zest the oranges before you juice them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the shortcakes, so don't skip this step.
  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the oranges and almonds. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the shortcake dough. Overmixing will make the shortcakes tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Bake the shortcakes until they are golden brown. The shortcakes should be cooked through, but not dry.
  • Serve the shortcakes warm with the cranberry parfait. The parfait is a delicious and refreshing complement to the shortcakes.

Conclusion:

These orange-almond shortcakes with cranberry parfait are a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The shortcakes are light and fluffy, with a delicate orange flavor. The cranberry parfait is tart and refreshing, and it pairs perfectly with the shortcakes. This dessert is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
