🛒 Ingredients
For the Mint Yogurt Cream
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 6 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- Zest of ½ a lime
For the Peach Glow Compote
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp orange juice
- ½ tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
For the Crunchy Layer
- ½ cup granola (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
- 1 tbsp chopped pistachios (optional but recommended for color + crunch)
Garnish (optional but pretty):
- Mint sprigs
- Edible flowers
- Tiny drizzle of Sunrise Coral-style raspberry coulis (raspberries + maple syrup)
🥣 Directions
1. Make the Peach Glow Compote:
In a small saucepan, combine peaches, orange juice, ginger, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until peaches soften and mixture thickens slightly. Let cool completely.
2. Prepare the Mint Yogurt Cream:
In a bowl, mix yogurt, honey/maple, vanilla, lime zest, and mint. Chill for 30–60 minutes so the mint infuses.
3. Assemble the Parfaits:
In small glasses or jars, layer as follows:
- 1 spoonful of mint yogurt cream
- A layer of peach compote
- A sprinkle of granola + pistachios
- Repeat layers
- Finish with a dollop of yogurt and a few peach cubes
4. Chill & Serve:
Refrigerate parfaits for at least 1 hour to let flavors blend. Top with mint sprigs or edible flowers for a “Healthy Lane” photo-ready finish.
