📖 Instructions

1. Prepare the star fruit: Rinse the star fruit under cool water. Lay it on its side on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, trim off the very ends, just enough to remove any discolored or tough bits. Slice the star fruit crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices. You should see perfect star shapes. Remove any seeds if present, though star fruit is often seedless.
2. Prepare the berries: Rinse the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries under cool water. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Hull the strawberries (remove the green leafy top) and slice them in half or quarters, depending on their size. Leave the blueberries and raspberries whole.
3. Layer the parfait (first layer): In the bottom of each parfait glass or clear cup, spoon a layer of yogurt. About 2-3 tablespoons per glass should be perfect. Spread it evenly to create a base. I like using a dollop, then swirl to get a nice-looking start.
4. Add granola: Sprinkle a layer of granola over the yogurt. Use about 1-2 tablespoons per glass, depending on your preference for crunch. I'm a HUGE fan of the crunch, so I tend to go a little overboard here.
5. Arrange fruit (star fruit): Place star fruit slices against the side of the glass, with the points of the stars facing outwards. This creates a visually appealing effect. Use about 3-4 slices per glass for the first layer. Some slices will likely be hidden, but it adds depth.
6. Add berries: Spoon a layer of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries) over the star fruit and granola. Use about 1/4 cup of berries per glass. Distribute them evenly for a mix of colors and flavors.
7. Repeat layers (second layer): Repeat the layers: yogurt, granola, star fruit, and berries. This will create a second, equally delicious layer. Use the same amounts as before, ensuring each layer is distinct and visually appealing.
8. Final touch (yogurt and granola): Top the parfait with a final dollop of yogurt. Sprinkle a small amount of granola over the yogurt. This adds a finishing touch and a bit of extra crunch.
9. Garnish (optional): Garnish with a few extra star fruit slices and berries on top for an extra pop of color and visual appeal. You can also add a sprig of mint for freshness. I personally love a little drizzle of honey on top, but that's totally up to you.
10. Serve immediately: The parfait is best served immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures. If you need to prepare it in advance, wait to add the granola until just before serving to prevent it from getting soggy. It only takes a few minutes, anyway!
11. Enjoy! Grab a spoon and get ready to dig into this delightful Star Fruit Berry Parfait. The combination of sweet and tart flavors, creamy yogurt, and crunchy granola is a treat for your taste buds. Don't forget to admire your beautiful creation before devouring it!
