Creamy Blueberry Swirl Parfait

Ingredients

The Blueberry Swirl & Topping

  • 2 cups Frozen blueberries (thawed slightly for blending)

  • 1 tbsp Maple syrup or honey (optional)

  • 1 tsp Lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup Fresh blueberries (for garnish)

The Creamy Base

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt or Thick Vanilla Cream (for a vegan option, use coconut cream)

  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp Chia seeds (optional, for texture seen in the photo)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Coulis: In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen blueberries, lemon juice, and sweetener. Blend until completely smooth and thick. It should have a soft-serve consistency.

  2. Flavor the Cream: In a separate bowl, whisk together your yogurt (or cream) with the vanilla extract. Fold in the chia seeds if you want those small dark speckles visible in the glass.

  3. Layer the Glasses: * Start by dropping a few fresh blueberries into the bottom of two chilled glasses.

    • Add a thick layer of the white cream base.

    • Spoon in a layer of the purple blueberry mixture. Use a small spoon or skewer to gently swirl the two colors together against the glass.

    • Repeat the layers until the glass is full.

  4. The Topping: Top the parfait with a generous swirl of the remaining blueberry mixture. Finish by nesting several large, fresh blueberries on top as shown in the image.

  5. Serve: Serve immediately while chilled.

Tips for the Perfect Look

  • Texture: To get the “dripping” effect seen in the photo, ensure your blueberry mixture is thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a teaspoon of water; if too thin, blend in more frozen berries.

  • The Frosty Finish: For that “frosted” look on the berries at the bottom of the image, pop your fresh blueberries in the freezer for about 10 minutes before garnishing.
