# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes but tastes like you actually tried, which is honestly the dream on busy mornings.
  • You get that satisfying crunch followed by creamy followed by bright tartness, all in one spoonful.
  • It's flexible enough to work with whatever fruit is on sale or whatever's about to go soft in your crisper drawer.
02 -
  • Assemble these just before eating, or the granola will lose its crunch and become almost soggy—the timing is what separates a sad parfait from a joyful one.
  • If you make the yogurt mixture too sweet, it overpowers the strawberries, so taste as you go and remember that the fruit brings its own flavor.
03 -
  • Make the yogurt mixture the night before if you want a faster morning assembly, and keep those strawberries separate so they don't turn the yogurt pink.
  • A small drizzle of honey or chocolate sauce over the final layer catches light beautifully and adds richness without being overdone.
