Creamy yogurt layers with fresh strawberries and granola create a refreshing, bite-sized treat in shot glasses.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely diced
02 - 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, optional for sweetening strawberries

03 - Place 1 tablespoon of yogurt mixture in the bottom of each shot glass.
04 - Add a layer of strawberries, approximately 1 teaspoon, over the yogurt.

06 - Repeat with another layer of yogurt, strawberries, and finish with a granola layer.
07 - Garnish each parfait with a fresh mint leaf if desired.
08 - Serve right away for optimal texture and crunch.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look fancy enough to serve at dinner parties but require zero baking skills or special equipment.
  • The texture contrast—creamy yogurt, juicy berries, and crunchy granola—keeps your palate genuinely interested with every spoonful.
02 -
  • If you assemble these too far in advance, the granola absorbs moisture and turns soft—they're actually better made just before serving, which means less work overall.
  • Not all yogurt is equal here; thicker Greek yogurt creates clean layers while regular yogurt tends to ooze, so don't substitute unless you like a messier presentation.
03 -
  • Use the ripest strawberries you can find—their natural sweetness means you might skip the sugar entirely and let their flavor shine through without competition.
  • Granola made with honey stays slightly softer than other kinds; if you prefer maximum crunch, seek out granola bound with butter or oil instead.
