Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/2 cups blueberries (18 ounces), divided
3/4 cup pure maple syrup (preferably Grade B), divided
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
6 ounces thin ginger cookies, coarsely crumbled

Steps:

  • Cook 2 1/4 cups (3/4 pound) blueberries with 1/2 cup maple syrup in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until blueberries have burst, 3 to 8 minutes. Cool in an ice bath, stirring occasionally.
  • While blueberry mixture cools, beat cream with remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup in a bowl using an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks.
  • Stir lemon juice and remaining 1 1/4 cups blueberries into cooled blueberry-maple mixture.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons blueberry mixture into each of 6 glasses and top with half of crumbled cookies and half of whipped cream. Repeat layering of remaining blueberry mixture, crumbled cookies, and whipped cream.
  • Serve parfaits immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh berries: Fresh berries are best for parfaits because they are sweet, juicy, and flavorful. If you don't have fresh berries, you can use frozen berries, but thaw them completely before using.
  • Choose a variety of berries: Using a variety of berries will give your parfait a more complex and interesting flavor. Some good combinations include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
  • Use plain yogurt: Plain yogurt is the best choice for parfaits because it is tangy and creamy. You can also use Greek yogurt, but it is thicker and may be too heavy for some people.
  • Sweeten the yogurt: If you find plain yogurt too tart, you can sweeten it with honey, maple syrup, or sugar. Just be sure to add it to taste.
  • Layer the parfait: To make a parfait, simply layer the yogurt, berries, and granola in a glass or jar. Repeat the layers until the glass is full.
  • Chill the parfait: Before serving, chill the parfait for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and the parfait to set.

Conclusion:

Berry parfaits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, snack, or dessert. They are packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect berry parfait every time.
