healthy-breakfast-parfait

Who doesn’t love a healthy breakfast and what if it tastes and looks like dessert?

That’s exactly what these Breakfast Parfait – 2 Style (Fruit and Chocolate) tastes like!

Parfaits are frozen French desserts made using lots of sugar, eggs, and cream and taste nom nom – yum!

You might have also heard of American Parfaits which are usually served for breakfast (made using yogurt and granola) in bakery and restaurants.

I had a chance to try both these parfaits and finally decided to make the American version at home (Don’t worry, you’ll get to see the french version too someday).

Breakfast-Parfait

I actually made two different variations here one for chocolate lovers and one for fruit lovers.

If this is your first time eating or making a parfait, try the fruit version first as it’s more simple in taste and easy to make.

For the chocolate one, I went kind of overboard with two types of chocolate (dark & milk), lots of nuts 😉 and some added cream too.

Breakfast-Parfait

 

You can make them overnight and store in the fridge, they actually taste quite good the next day, or carry them to work for a quick dessert lunch or a healthy lunch….the possibilities are endless.

 

Like always, Enjoy and share – Hugs from Me!

    Hi! Molly, Awesome recipe. Can you make them at night and take them to work next day or is it something which needs to eat as soon as you make it. Thanks!

    • Molly Kumar September 1, 2015 (5:51 am)

      Hello Usha Di, Off-course you can make them overnight and keep in fridge. There is another recipe for breakfast of ‘Overnight Oats’ using figs and saffron on my site that can be taken to work as well 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting my site – Hugs

    Oh wow! I didn’t know that there were different parfait styles! I find the granola – yogurt version moer intruiging! I guess the French version is with raw egg, right?

    • Molly Kumar August 31, 2015 (10:21 pm)

      Thanks Howie, Yes, the french version include raw eggs but they are cooked with cream just like a custard. But its extremely delicious too 🙂
