Ingredients

Creating a Creamy Almond Peach Parfait requires a blend of simple, fresh ingredients that come together beautifully. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Fresh Peaches: 4 large, ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • Almonds: 1 cup, sliced or slivered
  • Greek Yogurt: 2 cups, plain or vanilla
  • Honey: 3 tablespoons
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Almond Extract: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Granola: 1 cup, optional for added crunch
  • Mint Leaves: Fresh, for garnish
  • Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon, to prevent peaches from browning

Instructions

Creating your Creamy Almond Peach Parfait is a straightforward process that anyone can master. Just follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the Peaches:
    • Peel and pit the peaches, then slice them into thin wedges.
    • Toss the peach slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
  2. Toast the Almonds:
    • Heat a small skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced almonds and toast them until they are golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning. This should take about 5 minutes.
    • Remove from heat and let them cool.
  3. Mix the Yogurt Base:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
    • Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Parfaits:
    • In serving glasses or bowls, start by adding a layer of the yogurt mixture at the bottom.
    • Add a layer of peach slices on top of the yogurt.
    • Sprinkle a layer of toasted almonds over the peaches.
    • Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of the yogurt mixture on top.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Top with a sprinkle of granola for added texture if desired.
    • Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
    • Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
