Note
-
Yogurt Selection: Opt for plain Greek yogurt for its thick and creamy texture, which provides a luscious base for the parfait. If you prefer a sweeter yogurt, you can use vanilla Greek yogurt instead, but adjust the amount of honey accordingly to avoid excessive sweetness.
-
Lemon Zest Zing: The lemon zest adds a burst of citrusy flavor to the yogurt, enhancing its freshness and brightness. Be sure to use a microplane or fine grater to zest the lemon, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath the yellow peel.
-
Blueberry Variation: While fresh blueberries are recommended for their juiciness and vibrant flavor, you can also use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not available. Simply thaw the frozen blueberries before assembling the parfait to prevent excess liquid from diluting the yogurt.
-
Make-Ahead Option: This Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Parfait can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving. However, it's best to add the granola just before serving to maintain its crunchy texture.
