Instructions

Step 1

Stir the guava preserves to loosen them if they are thick; set aside.

Step 2

In 4 serving glasses or jars, spoon 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each glass.

Step 3

Add a layer of guava preserves (approximately 1 tablespoon per glass), spreading it gently over the yogurt.

Step 4

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola over the guava layer for crunch.

Step 5

Add a colorful mix of sliced strawberries and diced kiwi.

Step 6

Repeat the layering process once more: yogurt, guava preserves, granola, and finally the remaining fresh fruit.

Step 7

Top each parfait with the optional shredded coconut and fresh mint for a tropical finish.

Step 8

Serve immediately to ensure the granola stays crunchy, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour if you prefer a slightly softer texture.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Um die beste Konsistenz zu erreichen, rühren Sie das Guavengelee glatt, bevor Sie es schichten. Wenn Sie das Dessert vorbereiten möchten, können Sie die Frucht- und Joghurtschichten bereits im Voraus schichten, sollten aber das Granola erst kurz vor dem Servieren hinzufügen, damit es schön knusprig bleibt.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Dieses Rezept ist sehr vielseitig. Sie können die Guavenkonfitüre problemlos durch Mango- oder Passionsfruchtmarmelade ersetzen, um andere tropische Nuancen zu betonen. Für eine rein pflanzliche oder laktosefreie Variante eignet sich Kokosjoghurt hervorragend als Ersatz für den griechischen Joghurt.

Serviervorschläge

Dieses Parfait passt wunderbar zu einem ergänzenden tropischen Frucht-Smoothie oder einer Tasse leicht gebrühtem grünen Tee. Die frische Minze und die Kokosraspeln als Garnierung runden das Geschmackserlebnis perfekt ab und sorgen für eine ansprechende Präsentation.

Recipe Help & Answers

→ Can I make this parfait ahead of time?

Assemble up to 1 hour before serving for optimal texture. The granola will soften if refrigerated longer, so add it just before serving if making ahead.

→ What other fruits work well in this parfait?

Mango, pineapple, passion fruit, or berries like blueberries and raspberries pair beautifully with guava. Choose fruits that complement the tropical flavor profile.

→ How can I make this dairy-free?

Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or almond yogurt. Ensure your granola is certified dairy-free, as some varieties contain milk powder or honey.

→ Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek?

Greek yogurt provides creaminess and protein, but regular plain yogurt works too. The texture will be slightly thinner, so consider straining it through cheesecloth for 30 minutes to achieve a thicker consistency.

→ What type of granola works best?

Choose a granola with large clusters for better texture. Honey-vanilla or coconut varieties complement the tropical flavors. For gluten-free options, select certified gluten-free granola.

→ Can I use fresh guava instead of preserves?

Fresh guava can be used, but preserves provide the consistent sweetness and spreading texture needed for even layers. If using fresh, purée with a touch of honey to achieve a similar consistency.
