• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

How to Make Blueberry Lemon Parfait

1. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
2. If using, stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.
3. In serving glasses or bowls, start layering the parfait. Begin with a layer of the Greek yogurt mixture at the bottom.
4. Next, add a layer of fresh blueberries over the yogurt.
5. Continue to alternate layers of yogurt and blueberries until the glasses are filled to the top, finishing with a layer of blueberries.
6. Garnish each parfait with a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color and flavor.
7. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ripe, fresh blueberries for the best flavor.
• For a thicker texture, strain the Greek yogurt through a cheesecloth for an hour before mixing with honey and lemon.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste preference.
• Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator before serving to enhance the flavors.

Easy Variations

• Swap blueberries for other berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a different flavor profile.
• Add granola or crushed nuts between layers for added crunch.
• For a tropical twist, incorporate sliced kiwi or mango along with the blueberries.
• Use flavored Greek yogurt, such as lemon or berry, for an extra layer of flavor without the need for honey.

What to Serve With It

• A light salad with citrus vinaigrette.
• Grilled chicken or fish for a balanced meal.
• A refreshing iced tea or lemonade.
• A selection of cookies for a dessert spread.
