# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It’s like a secret shortcut: an elegant-looking dessert that takes barely any work and wows every time.
  • The contrast of creamy, tart, and crunchy layers is so satisfying that you’ll find yourself making it for all sorts of occasions, not just breakfast.
02 -
  • If you make them too far in advance, the granola turns soft and loses its magic.
  • I once tried using frozen fruit straight from the freezer—let them thaw or you’ll end up with icy parfait soup.
03 -
  • A thick Greek yogurt holds its shape and keeps layers tidy; thin yogurt will sink, so strain it if needed.
  • Lightly toast the nuts for a deeper flavor and crunch—just a minute or two makes all the difference.
