Chef's tips
- Seque as frutas picadas com papel absorvente para que o excesso de umidade não amoleça o iogurte nas taças
- Use iogurte natural bem firme ou grego para formar linhas divisórias visíveis e definidas através do vidro
- Adicione as folhas de hortelã apenas na hora de servir para mantê-las frescas sem murchar no frio
Variations
- Parfait com calda de frutas cozinhando parte dos morangos com uma colher de mel por 3 minutos para criar uma calda rústica
- Versão com chia adicionando sementes de chia hidratadas no leite vegetal formando um pudim de chia na base da taça
- Parfait com cacau polvilhando cacau em pó 100% sobre as camadas de iogurte para criar contraste amargo e sofisticado
Substitutions
- As frutas indicadas podem ser substituídas por manga picada, mirtilos frescos, pêssegos em cubos ou uvas verdes sem sementes
- O iogurte natural de vaca pode ser substituído por iogurte vegetal de coco ou creme batido de castanha-de-caju fermentado
- A granola tradicional pode ser substituída por biscoitos de aveia e mel triturados, castanhas tostadas ou sementes de abóbora
How to store
Keep the assembled glasses in the fridge for at most 2 to 3 hours before serving, as the granola loses crunchiness over time. To prepare further in advance, store the chopped ingredients in separate containers and assemble just before serving.
Can it be frozen?
It is not recommended to freeze the parfait assembled in the glass, as the yogurt crystallizes, the fresh fruits release abundant water and the granola gets soggy. Always consume fresh to enjoy the original combination of textures and colors.
What to serve with
Pairs with specialty filtered coffees, hot floral teas, or fresh citrus juices at brunches and festive breakfasts. As a light dessert after lunch, it closes the menu with elegance and a feeling of easy digestion.
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep the banana from browning in the glass?
Pass the banana slices quickly through a few drops of lemon juice or drizzle them with honey right after cutting to delay oxidation.
Does the yogurt need to be sweetened before assembly?
Plain yogurt can be used as is, as the concentrated sweetness of the banana, ripe strawberries, and a drizzle of honey balances the dairy acidity.
Which glass is most suitable for assembling the parfait?
Transparent cylindrical glass bowls or tall dessert glasses without relief highlight the contrast of the colorful layers perfectly.
Can I assemble the parfait the day before an event?
It is not recommended to assemble hours in advance, as the granola softens and fruits like banana darken due to oxidation.
