Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.333 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1.5 cups fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup granola
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 6 leaves mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and ground cardamom.
Step 2
Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, whisking frequently, until it thickens. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest. Let the pudding cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 5
Wash and pat dry the fresh berries. Slice larger fruits like strawberries if needed.
Step 6
To assemble the parfait, layer the ingredients in serving glasses or jars. Start with a layer of pudding at the bottom, followed by a layer of granola, and then a layer of berries. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Step 7
Garnish each parfait with a mint leaf for a fresh, fragrant touch.
Step 8
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
