Description
Discover a healthy mulberry recipe that’s sweet, simple, and packed with antioxidants. Perfect for a guilt‑free dessert!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh mulberries, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy‑free alternative)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds, toasted
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mulberry Compote: In a medium saucepan, combine the mulberries, honey (if using), lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly—about 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Assemble the Parfait: Spoon a generous layer of the warm mulberry compote into the bottom of a glass or bowl. Add a layer of Greek yogurt, then sprinkle half of the chia seeds. Repeat the layers until the glass is full.
- Finish with Toppings: Top the parfait with the remaining chia seeds, toasted almonds, and a few mint leaves for a fresh burst of color.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the parfait while the compote is still slightly warm and the yogurt is creamy. If you prefer a chilled dessert, refrigerate the compote for 15 minutes before assembling.
Notes
- Use ripe mulberries for maximum sweetness; if they’re a bit tart, add a splash of honey.
- For a vegan version, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use agave syrup instead of honey.
- Toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden for extra crunch.
- Chia seeds absorb liquid quickly—add them just before serving to keep the parfait from becoming soggy.
