Time 13m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup raspberry jam, divided
2 cups granola, divided
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted, * see Cook's Note

Steps:

  • Special equipment: 4 parfait or sundae glasses
  • In a small bowl, whisk the ricotta cheese and yogurt together until smooth. In each parfait glass, layer 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture, 1 tablespoon raspberry jam and 1/4 cup of granola. Repeat the layers. Spread the remaining ricotta mixture on top and garnish with toasted almonds before serving.
  • *Cook's Note: To toast the sliced almonds, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely before using.

Tips:

  • To make the parfaits ahead of time, layer the yogurt, ricotta, and fruit in individual jars or glasses. Then, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  • Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches are all great choices.
  • If you don't have any agave syrup, you can use honey or maple syrup instead.
  • To make a vegan version of this parfait, use a plant-based yogurt and ricotta.
