My grand-daughters love anything with berries and they also love yogurt. Two of their favorites in one dessert, so this is what I make them instead of ice cream. My daughter-in-law doesn't like for me to give the girlies to much sugar. You can substitute any fruit, peaches also make a delicious parfait.
GeriGranola Raspberry Parfait
1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
4 to 5 tablespoons raspberry jam; depending on desired sweetness
( if you substitute another fruit use the jam that the same as the fruit )
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 to 1 - 1/4 pounds raspberries
1 - 1/2 cups Granola
Puree ricotta, yogurt and jam in a food processor. Stir in grated orange peel.
Spoon in 2 tablespoons granola into each of the 6" tall parfait glasses. Top with 2 tablespoons of ricotta mixture and a thick layer of raspberries. Repeat with a second layer of granola, ricotta and raspberries.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
Makes 6 servings
Tip: If you don't have parfait glasses, use wine goblets or drinking glasses.
