Chocolate Greek Yogurt Parfait with Fresh Fruits

This summer I came to love these light desserts served in a glass, which can be made in almost 5 minutes, although formerly I was not fond of. And, specifically, desserts made with Greek yoghurt. Those who follow my blog know that I love Greek yogurt very much. It all started with Yogurt Banoffee Parfait which all of you loved, and after that came the Lemon and Yogurt “Cheesecake”, a really light and refreshing dessert. Today’s recipe is something similar; a fast and light chocolate dessert, very, very tasty! Greek yogurt parfait with chocolate and fresh fruits.

I used blueberries, which thankfully this year I had in abundance; you can, also, use cherries, strawberries, pears or nashi pears, or whatever fruit you like. But I suggest you make as it is. Blueberries match beautifully with the sweet but slightly sour, chocolate cream.

The chocolate cream is the same that I had used in the chocolate and blueberry tart. It often happens …. Once I make something I like, dough, a nice cream like this etc., I ‘m thinking other ways to use them. Thus, today’s dessert was created.

Regarding granola, the recipe was based on that I used in Yogurt Banoffee Parfait, but this time I used hazelnuts which match perfectly with chocolate! Who else thought about Nutella? 😉 Yum!

Tip: Make an extra amount of granola and add it to your breakfast. It is delicious!
