Servings
For the Recipe
- 1 cup of fresh strawberries
- 3 tbsp of powdered sugar
- 1 packet of Oreo Cookies
- 400 gm of Greek yogurt
Directions
In a blender, grind the Oreos until they form a fine powder. Set aside.
To clean the strawberries, prepare a bowl of water and add baking soda. Dip the strawberries in the water to remove any bugs or dirt.
Drain and wash the strawberries again. Pat them dry with a paper towel and chop them into small pieces.
In a bowl, mix the chopped strawberries with sugar and let them macerate for about an hour. This will help draw out the juices from the fruit, making it of ideal consistency for your parfait.
To assemble the parfait, use a shot glass. Create the base with the crushed Oreos, add a layer of Greek yogurt on top, and finish it off with the macerated strawberries.
Chill the parfait in the fridge for an hour before serving.
TIPS TO MAKE YOUR OREO STRAWBERRY YOGURT PARFAIT EVEN BETTER:
Opt for fresh and high-quality ingredients, especially focusing on the fruits and yogurt—the foundational elements of this dessert.
Amp up the visual appeal of this dish. Don't create a hodge podge of a parfait but pay attention to the layering technique by starting with a base of crushed cookies, followed by layers of yogurt and fruits.
Allow the parfait to chill in the refrigerator before serving so that the flavors have time to familiarize with each other and intensify.
Additionally, you can top this up with whipped cream that has a little bit of sugar and some lemon zest to amp up the freshness.
Always serve a parfait in clear glasses so the beautiful layers you so lovingly have made and the bright, vibrant colors of the fruit and yogurt are visible.
