5 Minute Raspberry Almond Parfait Recipe For Dessert

I spotted this great dessert recipe that was almost perfect:  Rasbperry Almond Parfait.  Mmmmmmmm. A sublime way to finish a meal with some great protein, fat, a high nutrient fruit carb.   And it's only 5 minutes.   If you have a dairy intolerance, this recipe is begging for coconut milk!!  So here's the original recipe with my version in bold:

Prep and Cook Time: 5 minutes 

Ingredients: 

8 oz (1 cup) low-fat vanilla or soy yogurt (change this to coconut milk!)

1/2 tsp almond extract 

2 TBS honey 

1 pint raspberries (don't substitute blueberries, raspberries are really the best here)

1 TBS sliced almonds

Optional: grated dark chocolate (yum! Tiny bit will go a long way.  Be sure to get dark and not milk chocolate)

Directions: Blend yogurt, honey and almond extract in a small mixing bowl with a whisk until the honey is incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Divide the yogurt mixture into two dessert dishes. Place the raspberries in one layer on top and garnish with the sliced almonds and, if desired, dark chocolate. 

Serves 2 

Healthy Cooking Tip: Taste the yogurt mixture for sweetness. You may want more honey depending on the brand of yogurt. (If you stick with yoghurt, make sure you get greek yoghurt.)

Reduce the Calorie Tip:  Stick with the greek yoghurt.  You'll halve the calories.

Greek Yogurt is found @ any walmart, sentry, or pick n save store. It's becoming
very popular. Very good for you. it's a thicker yogurt making you feel more full when eating if you get the Plain you will have to add some flavor otherwise the vanilla is great. They also have chocolate, strawberry, honey and strawberry flavors. Hope you can find this product. It's a little more expansive then the other brands
