1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup pomegranate arils (seeds)

1/2 cup granola or crushed biscotti (for crunch)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form.

    Layer the Parfaits: In small dessert cups or shot glasses, add a layer of vanilla yogurt at the bottom. Follow with a layer of whipped cream from the previous step.

      Add Pomegranate Arils: Sprinkle a thin layer of pomegranate arils over the whipped cream.

        Add Crunch: Add a layer of granola or crushed biscotti for texture.

          Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process (yogurt, whipped cream, pomegranate arils, and crunchy layer) until glasses are filled, leaving some space at the top.

            Finish with Cream: Top the parfaits with a final dollop of whipped cream and a generous sprinkle of pomegranate arils for a colorful presentation.

              Garnish: Add fresh mint leaves on top for an added touch of freshness and color.

                Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the mini parfaits for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
