A twist on a yogurt parfait featuring tropical fruits and a little bit of crunch from a homemade granola! You could prep the syrup and granola the night before for quicker morning preparation - just store the syrup in the fridge and the granola in a sealed container. This makes a nice presentation when served in a clear cup to reveal the layers - individual trifle bowls work great.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups plain yogurt
1 avocado, chopped
1 grapefruit, halved
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup coconut, flaked
1/4 cup almonds, sliced
1/4 teaspoon allspice

Steps:

  • Gently remove the halved grapefruit pieces from the skin and place in a medium bowl. Combine with avocado.
  • Prepare pomegranate syrup: Combine sugar and corn starch in a small saucepan, and mix well. Add pomegranate juice. Bring to a boil and simmer gently until reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
  • Prepare granola crumble: Preheat oven to 325°F Combine oats, butter, brown sugar, allspice, and almonds, and toss. Spread oat mixture on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until light brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in coconut and return to oven until mixture is medium brown, about another 5 minutes.
  • To make parfaits, layer yogurt in individual dishes, followed by a layer of fruit, then a drizzle of pomegranate syrup, topped with granola crumble. Add another layer of yogurt, fruit, then syrup drizzle, and finish with the granola crumble. Enjoy!
  • Note: If your grapefruit is particularly tart, you can sprinkle a bit of sugar, to taste, on the fruit mixture before layering it into the parfait.
