Ingredients

Scale

Cranberry Sauce

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)

Parfait Layers

  • 1 cup yogurt (plant-based), thick and creamy
  • 1 cup granola (with oats, nuts, and seeds)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cranberry Sauce: Rinse fresh cranberries thoroughly, then combine them in a saucepan with granulated sugar (natural), orange zest, apple cider vinegar (natural), maple syrup (natural), and the natural gelling agent. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens to a spreadable consistency. Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool completely before using.
  2. Assemble the Parfait: In serving glasses or bowls, spoon a layer of the cooled cranberry sauce, followed by a generous scoop of plant-based yogurt. Sprinkle a layer of crunchy granola on top. Repeat these layers until the glass is filled, ending with a final sprinkle of granola for texture.
  3. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled parfaits for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors combine and the cranberry sauce set. Serve chilled for a refreshing and flavorful treat.

Notes

  • Use fresh cranberries to achieve a brighter and fresher sauce.
  • Ensure the cranberry sauce is completely cooled before layering to prevent the yogurt from melting.
  • Choose granola that is firm and crunchy to maintain texture contrast.
  • Layer the ingredients carefully using a spoon or piping bag for a neat and attractive presentation.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the cranberry sauce by tasting during cooking and adding more maple syrup (natural) if needed.
