Summer Delight: Blueberry Basil Parfait Recipe

Today’s Special: Blueberry Basil Parfait

As the summer comes to a close, I find myself wanting to savor the last moments of sunshine and warmth. What better way to do that than with a refreshing dessert that combines the sweetness of blueberries with the aromatic freshness of basil? Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for a unique Blueberry Basil Parfait that will surely surprise and delight your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 300g fresh blueberries
• 20g basil leaves
• 500g Greek yogurt
• 50g honey
• 100g granola

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowls
• blender
• parfait glasses
• spoon

To start, rinse the blueberries and basil leaves thoroughly. In a blender, combine the blueberries and honey, and blend until smooth. Place the Greek yogurt in a mixing bowl and fold in the blueberry mixture, creating a swirl effect.

Next, finely chop the basil leaves and sprinkle them evenly over the Greek yogurt mixture. This will add a subtle herbaceous note that complements the sweetness of the blueberries.

In parfait glasses, layer the blueberry-basil yogurt mixture with granola, creating a beautiful contrast of textures. Continue layering until the glasses are filled to the top, finishing with a sprinkle of granola on top for added crunch.

The Blueberry Basil Parfait can be served immediately for a delicious treat, or refrigerated for an hour for a chilled dessert option. The flavors will meld together beautifully, creating a harmonious balance of sweet, tangy, and herbaceous notes.
