Acerola Yogurt Parfait
A refreshing layered parfait made with tangy acerola puree, creamy yogurt, crunchy granola and fresh fruit.
Acerola yogurt parfait is a simple and colorful way to enjoy the bright, tangy flavor of acerola cherries. Layers of smooth yogurt, fresh acerola puree and crunchy granola create a balanced combination of creamy, fruity and crisp textures. It works well as a quick breakfast, refreshing snack or light dessert. Use fully ripe red acerola cherries for the best flavor, and strain the puree after blending to remove seeds and coarse pulp. Assemble the parfait just before serving if you prefer the granola to stay crunchy.
