Step 1: Gently wash all your mixed berries under cool running water. Pat them thoroughly dry with a paper towel. If you're using strawberries, hull them (remove the green leafy tops) and slice them into bite-sized pieces for easier layering and enjoyment.
Step 2: Select clear glass cups, bowls, or jars. Clear containers are perfect for showcasing the vibrant layers of your parfait, adding to its visual appeal.
Step 3: Spoon a generous layer of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each prepared glass. Follow this with a layer of your fresh mixed berries, and then a layer of granola. This creates the foundational base of your parfait.
Step 4: Continue to build your parfait by repeating the layers: yogurt, then berries, then granola. Stack them until your glasses are full, ensuring the top layer is a beautiful arrangement of fresh berries.
Step 5: If you desire a touch more sweetness, lightly drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top layer of berries. This adds a lovely sheen and an extra depth of flavor.
Step 6: For an elegant finish and a burst of freshness, garnish each parfait with a few sprigs of fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp granola, or chill for up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving for a cooler treat.
