Tropical layered parfait with creamy yogurt, guava preserves, fresh berries, kiwi, and crunchy granola.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt

→ Fruit & Preserves

02 - 1 cup guava preserves or guava jam
03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
04 - 1 cup fresh kiwi, peeled and diced

→ Grains

05 - 1 cup granola

→ Optional Garnishes

06 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
07 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

# How To Make It:

01 - Stir the guava preserves to loosen them if thick and set aside.
02 - In 4 serving glasses or jars, spoon 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each.
03 - Add a layer of guava preserves (about 1 tablespoon per glass), spreading gently.
04 - Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola over the guava layer.
05 - Add a mix of strawberries and kiwi to create a fruit layer.
06 - Repeat the layers in order: yogurt, guava preserves, granola, and fresh fruit.
07 - Top with optional coconut and mint. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or refrigerate up to 1 hour before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like vacation in a glass without requiring any cooking or advanced skills.
  • You can assemble it in minutes but it feels special enough to serve guests or treat yourself like royalty.
  • The layers stay interesting with every spoonful—creamy, sweet, crunchy, and fruity all at once.
02 -
  • If you assemble these more than an hour ahead, your granola will absorb moisture and lose its crunch—serve them within 60 minutes or add the granola right before eating.
  • Room temperature Greek yogurt layers more smoothly than cold yogurt straight from the fridge, so let it sit out for 5 minutes if you have time.
03 -
  • Taste your guava preserves before using them—some brands are sweeter than others, and you might want to thin them with a touch of water if yours is particularly thick or sugary.
  • Use ripe but not mushy fruit; slightly underripe kiwi holds its texture better than fruit that's about to turn, and strawberries should smell fragrant without being soft enough to crumble.
