I am loving handy, cute breakfast jars! I shared my favorite overnight oats last time. The one I have been eating on repeat! Have you made it yet? Today, we are using jars again and it is for a dessert! Blueberry Greek Yogurt Parfait.

To describe this briefly, you get layers of Greek yogurt and cream cheese blend, blueberries, graham crackers and maple syrup. It is only 5 ingredients! For a no-bake treat that you can have instantly- you have to try this one.

Some Notes on the Ingredients

• Greek Yogurt. This dessert is a wholesome option because of the Greek yogurt. This is why, this can be also a breakfast treat if you want. If you do not like the tang of a plain yogurt, opt for the vanilla flavored ones. Also, I do not recommend using non-fat yogurt. We are going after the creamy flavor and the non-fat lacks that.
• Blueberries. I use frozen blueberries. But fresh ones will also work. The reason I like frozen ones is because they are cheaper than the fresh ones, and I notice that they are consistently sweet.
• Cream Cheese. This kinda’ tames down the tang of the Greek yogurt a bit, giving the blueberry yogurt parfait a more indulgent note. To soften the cream cheese, microwave it for 5-7 seconds at a time until softened. Watch closely or it will be scorched.
• Graham Crackers. This adds texture, sweetness and a buttery feel to the parfait.
• Maple Syrup. This is our main sweetener here. You can also use honey, and adjust the amount as you prefer. The amount in the recipe is a guideline, so feel free to add or reduce as per your preference.

Let’s Make Blueberry Yogurt Parfait

1. Prepare two 16 oz. jars, preferably with lids for storing leftovers. Roughly break the graham crackers into bite size pieces. Combine Greek yogurt and softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. In the bottom of each jars, place approximately ¼ cup of the graham pieces. Add about ¼ cup of blueberries on both jars. Drizzle 4 tbsp. of maple syrup on top.
3. Spoon Greek yogurt- cream cheese mixture in each of the jars, reserving enough for another layer later for both. Layer the remaining graham, blueberries and maple syrup. Top everything with the remaining Greek yogurt mix.
4. If desired, add a bit more graham, blueberries and maple syrup on top. Enjoy!

More Pointers and Notes

• To store leftovers, cover the jars well and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• To add more to the parfait, you can try granola, nuts, and some dried fruits.
