Oh hey, there. Sorry, just let me lick off this spoon and I’ll be right with ya.
Okay, yeah. Now I can focus. So, i’ll be honest; I definitely wasn’t expecting this recipe to go my way, let alone turn out as beautifully scrumptious as it did. If you’ve been following my food adventures, you may have noticed I’ve been using strawberries in pretty much everything. I go a little crazy when they’re in season. Even thinking about how they’re soon going to disappear off the Karachi market gives me withdrawal. But that’s a rant for another time. For now, let’s talk about the newest addition to my list of super easy, strawberry-centric recipes – this strawberry parfait.
I know parfaits are traditionally meant to be layered with granola. But I wanted a quicker and easier alternative. Something that required minimum effort and no baking. So I crushed some digestive biscuits, added peanuts to the mixture and voila! Best decision I’ve ever made. Food wise, I mean. Follow this recipe (and of course, feel free to add your own touches) for the best strawberry parfait ever. Seriously, I’m not even exaggerating.
The Best Strawberry Parfait Ever
A crunchy base topped with layers of yogurt, fresh strawberries and a sprinkling of corn flakes.
Total time: 10 minutes
Serves: 1
Ingredients
3-4 digestive biscuits
Your choice of nuts (I used roasted peanuts)
1/2 cup yogurt (healthier alternative: non-fat Greek yogurt)
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Optional:
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon honey
Method
- Crush the digestive biscuits and add nuts. Layer at the bottom of the container. I actually wished later that I had done more than one layer of this so you might wanna try that.
- Add a dollop of yogurt and spread it out evenly. If you’d like your yogurt to be sweet you can mix in honey before layering.
- If you’re not going for the healthy version, add a teaspoon of sugar to the strawberries. Wait for approx. five minutes until they release juice. Layer the strawberries with juice onto the yogurt. You can also just layer the fresh strawberries without adding any sugar.
- Finish off with a sprinkling of corn flakes for some added crunch. Or frosted flakes, if you’re not going for the healthy version.
I love strawberries too.Looks yummy
Yum! I eat granola, fruit and yogurt parfaits all the time, so this is right up my alley! I must try one!
Yummy… this must be the easiest recipe that I have seen! My son looking over my shoulder saying ‘MOM I can make that!’
Pinning this <3
Aww, that’s amazing! Thanks so much <3
I can totally see why you are licking that spoon for any last bites! Yum! Love the idea of the biscuit at the bottom! I cant wait to try this out! Perfect breakfast on the go!
This looks delicious! My hubby and little one love all things strawberry so they would love this!
Thanks sis. Will be trying this… Oh yes, you do love strawberries!
So I’ve got a whole pack of digestive cookies and I keep thinking “what on earth am I going to do with all these?”
I now know exactly what I’ll be doing with them! Looks great xx
I have already bookmarked this and will be making it very soon, thank you for sharing.
This parfait looks perfect for breakfast! I need to make it soon! (I think my kid might want a few bites, but I don’t think I’ll share.)
Your picture caption made me giggle…sometimes those every layer pics are so hard to remember! It looks so yummy though!
Thank you for sharing this recipe I would’ve never thought to use crushed nuts in place of granola. I always need a granola free option because most granola contains oats which I am intolerant to so it’s nice to have an alternative
A lovely alternative of classic strawberry parfait. The recipe itself is so flexible that we can go with our own version. Looking at your photo making me thinking to have mixed berries parfait.
I love anything with fresh strawberries. I will make this without sugar and my family will eat them as fast as I can make them.
This looks mouthwatering.. And the perfect time to make it since fresh strawberries are in season and available in abundance
woow that looks yum
As I said it on your Instagram- screenshoted and pinned in my Soul Food album. Next step- waiting for strawberries season! Thank you babe!
xx
I can never resist a delicious and healthy parfait, and strawberry at that! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Ou! This looks like a yummy treat! I will have to get some berroes and try this recipe out.
I adore the little jar that you are using! I love love strawberries! I just bought some frozen ones to put in my protein shakes this week. I’ll check out some more of your strawberry recipes!
That looks so good!!!! I love strawberries so anuthing recipe that includes them works for me!
Parfaits are so much fun to make and eat! Yours looks really good, and it layered well with the pretty reds and whites. I bet it tastes amazing.
I love parfaits, and this one is loaded with my favorite fruit, strawberries! Look so good!
Great idea for a super simple quick snack that is also pleasing to the eye! It’s almost strawberry season, too!
Why have I never thought to put Frosted Flakes on top of my yogurt parfait?!? That’s a brilliant idea! And I love the idea of doing the digestive biscuit in a pinch!
i got strawberries on sale today so this is perfect timing. I will be trying this out soon.
I love your styling of these! They would make a perfect little treat for a summer dinner.
That does sound amazing. Corn Flakes on a parfait is something that I would not have thought about, but it sounds really good.
This looks pretty amazing. Different than the ones I make so it would be nice for a good change! Looks just yummy.
Fresh strawberries are the best ! This would make the perfect breakfast, I really need to find more things to make a good breakfast.
Oh wow! That looks amazing! Strawberry parfaits are the best! I need to try this at home; I hope my kids will love this!

I really love strawberries and this looks like a really great parfait! So simple and straightforward and a great pudding to have. I like how you’ve given the healthy and not so healthy option!
I haven’t had digestive biscuits in years, but just recently I found a gluten free version online. I haven’t gotten them yet, but I’m very excited.
Wow, this sounds simple yet an amazing recipe! I love such kind of things and this looks so presentable!
I love a fruit parfait! When I used to teach, I would do them instead of ice cream parties… the kids actually LOVED assembling their parfaits and layering and the moms loved the healthier choice!
