Print Recipe

A simple, delicious parfait featuring honey-roasted plums layered with creamy vanilla Greek yogurt and crunchy toasted almonds or granola. Perfect for a fresh breakfast or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized fresh plums, ripe but firm
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or mild-flavored like clover honey)
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended, low-fat works too)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup toasted almonds or granola
  • A tiny pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash and quarter the plums, removing the pits.
  2. In a bowl, toss the plum quarters with 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, ½ teaspoon cinnamon (if using), and a tiny pinch of salt until well coated.
  3. Arrange the plums cut-side up in an oven-safe baking dish or rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and honey has caramelized slightly. Avoid burning; plums should be soft but not mushy.
  5. While plums roast, mix Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness with a little honey if desired.
  6. Let roasted plums cool slightly to warm temperature to prevent yogurt from becoming runny.
  7. To assemble, spoon a layer of vanilla yogurt into serving glasses, then add roasted plums and sprinkle with toasted almonds or granola.
  8. Repeat layers until glasses are filled. Finish with a few plum pieces and a drizzle of honey on top.
  9. Serve immediately or chill for 15-20 minutes if preferred cooler.

Notes

Do not overcrowd plums when roasting to ensure caramelization rather than steaming. Use ripe but firm plums to maintain texture. Chill yogurt beforehand to prevent it from becoming watery when layered with warm fruit. Toast nuts or granola for extra crunch and flavor. If plums are watery after roasting, spoon off excess syrup to avoid sogginess. Variations include using coconut yogurt for dairy-free option and swapping plums with peaches or nectarines.
