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.
