I have such a fun idea to share with you. I have been setting up Greek Yogurt Parfait Bars every time we have a gathering with family and friends. It has been a huge hit at our house and I don’t want word to get out — but it is the easiest thing to do when entertaining a crowd.
I set up a Greek Yogurt Parfait Bar for Mother’s Day brunch this year. It was a huge hit with all ages. What I love most is that everyone can pick and choose what they like to add to their parfait. This was a favorite with my younger guys since they are a bit choosy about their toppings. It is so fun watching everyone pile on the fruit! They didn’t stop there, granola, coconut, chocolate chunks and a dollop of honey took the Greek Yogurt Parfait to the next level.
Best part about it for the hostess, set it up and let everyone do the work. Want easy clean-up – just use plastic cups and there is literally nothing but the serving pieces to wash. It doesn’t get any better when you are hosting a crowd!
Entertaining a crowd this weekend, hosting a brunch, baby shower, wedding shower or teachers breakfast? I have the answer and I promise it will be a huge hit.
- Your favorite Greek Yogurt - Vanilla is a huge hit at our house but we have also done Strawberry and Vanilla
- Granola - don't stop at plain, mix it up with different granola blends
- Coconut
- Chocolate chunks
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Kiwi
- Almonds
- Honey
- Place all ingredients in bowls and let everyone create their favorite parfaits.
- We love adding a tad of honey on top of our parfait.
- Get creative with your dishes, bowls, glasses, mason jars, even plastic cups work well.
These fun little bar will be the highlight of our dessert this Memorial Day. Join us on Sunday for our live chat hosted by DB aka Foodie Stuntman of Crazy Foodie Stunts and check out all the other great recipes to share with family and friends.
