Ingredients

• 240 ml strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 240 ml heavy cream
• 50 g granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 240 ml plain Greek yogurt
• 120 g granola
• 1 tsp instant espresso powder (optional, for extra coffee flavor)
• 15 g dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the coffee layer by mixing the cooled brewed coffee with 25g of granulated sugar (half the total sugar). Stir until dissolved. If you want a richer coffee flavor, add 1 tsp of instant espresso powder and stir. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and the remaining 25g of granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture until fully combined. This creates the creamy layer of the parfait.

Step 4

In serving glasses, begin layering the parfait: start with 2 tablespoons of the granola at the bottom of each glass.

Step 5

Add 3 tablespoons of the creamy yogurt mixture on top of the granola in each glass, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Pour 3 tablespoons of the coffee mixture over the creamy layer in each glass.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process: add another 2 tablespoons of granola, 3 tablespoons of the creamy yogurt mixture, and a final drizzle of the coffee mixture in each glass.

Step 8

Top each parfait with an additional sprinkle of granola and garnish with dark chocolate shavings (if using).

Step 9

Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve cold and enjoy a refreshing, coffee-inspired dessert!
