Substitution Tips
This parfait is very versatile.
-
For a dairy-free version, use coconut or almond-based yogurt.
-
For extra texture, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the granola.
- This parfait can be assembled in advance but add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy.
-
Using ice cream: Swap yogurt for vanilla or sweet-cream ice cream to turn this into a quick dessert. Assemble just before serving so the layers stay distinct.
-
Using pudding: Vanilla, white chocolate, or cheesecake-style pudding creates a richer, trifle-like parfait that holds its layers well and can be made ahead.
