Let's talk about mornings, shall we? Some of us bound out of bed, ready to seize the day. Others (ahem, me included) need a little… coaxing. That's where this Elderflower Lemon Yogurt Parfait comes in. I discovered elderflower cordial while visiting a friend in the UK a few years back, and I've been obsessed ever since. It's like sunshine in a bottle, trust me. The slight floral notes are the perfect match for tangy lemon and creamy yogurt.

This parfait isn't just delicious; it’s also ridiculously easy to make. We're talking 15 minutes, tops. And honestly? It feels a bit fancy, even though it's incredibly simple. Which makes it perfect for those mornings when you want something a little special without a ton of effort. Plus, you can prep the components ahead of time, making your mornings even smoother. Picture this: You, a sunny morning, and a beautiful parfait. What does this mean for you? Joy in every bite!

Now, I’m not going to pretend I’m a nutritionist, but this is a decent way to start the day, right? Yogurt is packed with protein and probiotics, and a little lemon never hurt anyone (vitamin C, hello!). Think of it as a mostly guilt-free indulgence. Feel free to add berries, granola, or a drizzle of honey for extra pizzazz. Or maybe a cheeky little biscotti on the side? I won’t tell.

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First, gather all your ingredients: Greek yogurt, lemon curd (store-bought or homemade, I sometimes like to buy store-bought because I’m short on time), elderflower cordial, and your favorite toppings (berries, granola, etc.).
  2. Grab your parfait glasses or any pretty glasses you have on hand. Mason jars work great, too! Anything to make it look cute.
  3. Start with a layer of Greek yogurt at the bottom of each glass. I use plain Greek yogurt, but you can use vanilla or lemon flavored if you prefer. Watch out for the sugar content, though!
  4. Next, spoon a layer of lemon curd over the yogurt. If your lemon curd is very thick, you can gently warm it in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to spread. Be careful not to overheat it!
  5. Drizzle a teaspoon or two of elderflower cordial over the lemon curd. Adjust the amount to your taste. A little goes a long way, so start small and add more if needed. Seriously, don’t go overboard!
  6. Repeat the layers: yogurt, lemon curd, elderflower cordial, until you reach the top of the glass. Feel free to get creative with the layering! Maybe create swirls or patterns.
  7. Top with your favorite toppings. I love fresh berries like raspberries or blueberries, but granola, chopped nuts, or even a sprinkle of coconut flakes would be delicious too. A few mint leaves always elevate the look!
  8. If you’re making these ahead of time, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. The longer they sit, the softer the granola will get, so keep that in mind. They're best enjoyed within a few hours. But even if they are enjoyed after a few days, they're still quite delicious!
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Take a moment to appreciate the beautiful layers and the delightful aroma before you dig in. You deserve it!
