Ingredients
- 60g / 2.5oz ripe strawberries, sliced
- 2 teaspoons granular sugar substitute, divided
- 125ml / 4 fl oz plain whole milk yogurt
- 1/8 teaspoon almond or coconut essence
- 1 tablespoon sliced natural almonds, lightly toasted and crushed
Instructions
- Sweeten the strawberries. Sprinkle the sliced strawberries lightly with half a teaspoon of sugar substitute.
- Flavor the yogurt. In a bowl, mix the yogurt with the remaining sugar substitute and the almond or coconut essence.

- Continue layering. Cover with most of the remaining yogurt, reserving about 2 tablespoons. Add the remaining strawberries.
- Finish. Drizzle the reserved yogurt over the top and sprinkle with the crushed toasted almonds.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve immediately for the freshest presentation and texture
- Pair with a light biscuit for extra crunch
- Double or triple the recipe for a quick, elegant dessert when entertaining
- Offer as a light breakfast or afternoon snack
- Use a clear glass to show off the beautiful layers
Tips and Variations
- Toasting the almonds briefly in a dry pan intensifies their flavor considerably before crushing.
- Choose the ripest, sweetest strawberries available for the best natural flavor.
- Any berry works well in place of strawberries, including raspberries or blueberries.
- This parfait is best assembled and eaten fresh, as the layers can blend together if left too long.
- Coconut essence gives a slightly different, tropical twist compared to almond essence.
Why This Recipe Works
Building this parfait in distinct layers rather than simply mixing everything together creates visual appeal and lets each component, sweet berries, creamy flavored yogurt, and crunchy almonds, shine on its own within every spoonful. A small amount of almond or coconut essence transforms plain yogurt into something with real character, while the toasted almonds provide the textural contrast that makes this simple dessert genuinely satisfying.
Storage
Best assembled and eaten immediately. If needed, store components separately in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and assemble just before serving.
