Q: Can I use coconut yogurt or dairy-free yogurt?

A: Yes. Coconut yogurt works beautifully here and adds a subtle richness. Greek yogurt, dairy-free, or plant-based yogurts all work — choose what you enjoy and what fits your needs.

Q: Do I need to sweeten the yogurt?

A: Not necessarily. Between the fruit and the maple-sweetened seeded brittle, many people find the parfait perfectly balanced as-is. If using unsweetened yogurt and you prefer a touch more sweetness, stir your sweetener directly into the yogurt before layering.

Q: Can I make this parfait ahead of time?

A: You can prep the components in advance, but for the best texture, assemble just before serving or keep the seeded brittle separate until ready to eat.

Q: How do I keep the seeded brittle crunchy?

A: Store the brittle in an airtight container and add it to the parfait just before serving. Chilling the parfait will soften the brittle slightly over time.

Q: Is this better as breakfast or dessert?

A: Both. It’s light and nourishing enough for breakfast or a snack, and with the dessert-worthy twist, it easily becomes a simple, elegant dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prep your berries. Wash and slice strawberries if using; set all fruit aside.
Taste your yogurt first. If using unsweetened yogurt and you’d like a touch more sweetness, stir your preferred sweetener directly into the yogurt before assembling. Taste and adjust as needed.
Build your base. Add a few spoonfuls of yogurt to the bottom of your glass or bowl.
The hero ingredient. Add a generous layer of roughly chopped seeded brittle (don’t be afraid to leave some larger chunks!).
Add fruit. Layer in berries—mix and match for color and flavor.
Repeat the layers. Continue layering yogurt, seeded brittle, and fruit until the glass is full.
Finish with flair. Drizzle a little yogurt, top with a few whole berries, and add a final sprinkle of brittle pieces for garnish.
Serve or chill. Enjoy immediately, or chill up to 1 hour if you want the brittle slightly softened.

Notes

Dessert-Worthy Twist: After adding the seeded brittle, drizzle lightly with honey, then add berries and a small sprinkle of cocoa nibs before continuing with the next layer. Repeat as you layer and finish with fresh mint.

Sweetness Tip: If using unsweetened yogurt, taste and lightly sweeten before assembling. The seeded brittle adds natural sweetness, so start small and adjust to taste.

Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble just before serving for maximum crunch, or chill up to 1 hour if you prefer the seeded brittle slightly softened.
