1. Prepare the creamy base

• In a bowl, mix yogurt with honey and vanilla extract if using.
• If using whipped cream, whip until soft peaks form and gently fold in sweetener or flavoring as desired.
• Keep chilled until ready to assemble.

2. Prepare the fruit

• Wash and dry fresh fruits thoroughly.
• Slice larger fruits like strawberries or mango into bite-sized pieces.
• If using compote or jam, warm slightly or mix with fresh fruit for a smoother texture.

3. Prepare the crunch layer

• Crush cookies or biscuits using a rolling pin or pulse briefly in a food processor.
• If using granola or nuts, toast briefly in a dry pan for enhanced flavor (optional).

4. Choose your serving glass

• Select dessert glasses, jars, or bowls—clear vessels showcase the beautiful layers.
• Use wide-mouthed glasses for easier layering and eating.

5. Layer the parfait

• Start with a spoonful of crunch at the bottom for structure.
• Add a layer of creamy yogurt or whipped topping.
• Follow with a layer of fruit or compote.
• Repeat the layers until the glass is full, finishing with fruit or cream on top.

6. Add finishing touches

• Garnish with chocolate chips, mint leaves, a drizzle of honey, or coconut flakes.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
