Ingredients

Yogurt Layer

  • 2 (8 ounce) containers vanilla yogurt

Berry Layer

  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen mixed berries

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all necessary ingredients including the vanilla yogurt, frozen mixed berries, crushed graham crackers, and ground nutmeg to ensure a smooth assembly process.
  2. Layer Yogurt: Start by spooning a layer of vanilla yogurt to cover the bottom of two small glasses evenly, creating a creamy base for the parfait.
  3. Add Berry Layer: Spread a layer of frozen mixed berries over the yogurt in each glass, distributing them evenly to ensure every bite has a burst of fruit flavor.
  4. Repeat Layers: Continue layering by adding another spoonful of yogurt on top of the berries, followed by another layer of berries, filling the glasses and finishing with the fruit layer on top.
  5. Finish with Toppings: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers evenly over the top layer of berries along with a light dusting of ground nutmeg to add texture and a hint of spice.

Notes

  • Allow frozen berries to thaw slightly for easier layering and better texture.
  • Substitute graham crackers with granola for added crunch and flavor variety.
  • Can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
  • Use fresh berries if available for a more vibrant taste.
