Yogurt Date And Walnut Parfait Recipes

Steps:

• Divide yogurt, fruit, and walnuts between two glasses. Drizzle each with 1/2 tablespoon honey.

Steps:

• In a large glass, layer 1 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup granola and 4 blackberries. Repeat layers.

Steps:

• First, pour the yogurt into a bowl. Then add the cream and vanilla. With a whisk, carefully stir until combined. It should be nice and thick.
• Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the yogurt mixture. Do not stir the mixture. Cover the bowl with foil or plastic wrap and tightly seal the edges. Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
• When you are ready to serve, place a small handful of berries (or other fruit) into a bowl or cup. Without stirring the mixture, spoon the yogurt over the berries. There will be creamy areas and brown sugar areas. Repeat the layers once, ending with berries on top.

Steps:

• Layer 1/3 cup vanilla yogurt into the bottom each of 4 tall glasses. Combine defrosted strawberries and juice with fresh berries. Alternate layers of fruit and granola with yogurt until glasses are filled to the top. Serve parfaits immediately to keep granola crunchy.

Steps:

• For the frozen yogurt: Strain the yogurt through a fine-meshed strainer for 2 hours. Put the strained yogurt, the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract in a blender and blend until the ingredients are incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the yogurt mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the homemade walnut brittle: Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat and grease it liberally with 2 tablespoons of butter.
• Bring the sugar and corn syrup to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan and cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F, about 6 minutes. Stir in the walnuts and cook until the mixture becomes golden-brown and reaches 300 degrees F, about 5 more minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in 1 stick butter, the vanilla extract, baking soda and salt¿the mixture will come to a vigorous bubble, then it will settle. Stir until the butter is fully melted and pour onto the silicone baking mat. Let the brittle cool completely, about 30 minutes. Break apart before serving.
• To assemble the parfaits: Add a large spoonful of jam to each parfait glass, then a scoop of Frozen Yogurt, and top with a few pieces of Homemade Walnut Brittle.

Steps:

• Spoon yogurt onto several layers of heavy-duty paper towels; spread to 1/2-inch thickness. Cover with additional paper towels; let stand 5 minutes. Scrape yogurt into a bowl using a rubber spatula.
• Spoon 1/2 cup drained yogurt into each of six parfait glasses.
• Top each serving with 1 tablespoon chopped dates, 2 teaspoons chopped & toasted walnuts, and 1-1/2 teaspoons of honey.
• Cover and chill 1 hour.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
