These berry yogurt parfaits are cool and refreshing and really easy to put together. A parfait, if you’re not aware, is a French dessert that means a layered frozen dessert that is usually served in a tall glass. They are best made ahead of time, which means they are a great dessert to make when having friends or family over.
To make these parfaits keto-friendly, our recipe calls for a scrumptious mix of keto favorites like Greek yogurt, almond milk, and coconut milk. These provide you with lots of protein and calcium while at the same time keeping the carb count low. Fresh frozen berries, pecans, coconut flakes, and erythritol are included to add some guilt-free sweetness to the desert. To top it off, the parfait is packed with lots of goodies from the pumpkin seeds, pecans, cinnamon, and chia seeds.
To make the layers for this desert, make the chia layer 30 minutes ahead of the other layers or you can make it the night before. Then all you need to do is layer the desert into a tall glass, with the yogurt mixture in between the crunchy layers. Making these parfaits does take some time, but the end result is amazing. Next time you want to whip up a keto-friendly dessert, give these beauties a go!
