As the summer heat begins to fade and the cool breeze of autumn whispers in the air, I find myself craving a refreshing yet elegant dessert to satisfy my sweet tooth. Today, I am excited to share with you a unique and delightful recipe for Pineapple Matcha Parfait. The zesty tang of pineapple combined with the earthy notes of matcha creates a harmonious flavor profile that is sure to delight your taste buds.

To begin this culinary adventure, gather the following ingredients:

• 200g fresh pineapple chunks
• 150g Greek yogurt
• 10g matcha powder
• 30g honey
• 20g coconut flakes
• for garnish

Prepare your kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• serving glasses

Start by whisking the Greek yogurt, matcha powder, and honey together in a mixing bowl until smooth and well combined. In your serving glasses, layer the pineapple chunks with the matcha yogurt mixture, alternating between the two until the glasses are filled to your liking. Top off each parfait with a sprinkle of coconut flakes for a touch of tropical crunch.

The vibrant green of the matcha yogurt against the golden pineapple creates a visually stunning dessert that is as beautiful as it is delicious. The creamy texture of the yogurt contrasts perfectly with the juicy pineapple, offering a medley of flavors and textures in every spoonful. The hint of honey adds a subtle sweetness, while the coconut flakes provide a delightful crunch with a hint of nuttiness.

Once you’ve assembled your Pineapple Matcha Parfaits, garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and a burst of fresh aroma. The combination of flavors and textures in this dessert is truly a treat for the senses, perfect for any occasion where you want to impress your guests with a unique and exotic sweet finish.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 410g, with enough to serve 2 people. Each serving weighs around 205g, with an approximate calorie count of 250 per serving.

One clever tip to elevate this dessert is to chill the serving glasses in the freezer before assembling the parfaits. This will help keep the layers crisp and cold, enhancing the overall refreshing experience of the dish.
