How to Make It
[Step 1] Place a strainer over a bowl, line it with paper towels, add the yogurt, and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to drain off the excess liquid, resulting in a thick, creamy consistency.
[Step 2] Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and cut them into bite-sized cubes (set aside a few thin slices for garnish—they’ll make the dish look more appealing).
[Step 3] Place the crushed cookies at the bottom of the glass, then top with half of the strained yogurt.
[Step 4] Arrange plenty of sliced peaches on top of the yogurt, drizzle with honey, and it’s ready to serve. Garnish with mint if desired.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
[Common Mistake] The yogurt may be too runny, causing it to mix with the moisture from the peaches and disrupt the layers. This is caused by not draining the yogurt long enough. As a solution, if you’re in a hurry, place a bowl of ice water under the bowl to keep it cool while draining the yogurt; this will help it develop a firmer texture even in a short amount of time.
A Quick Tip for Making It Taste Great
If you drain the yogurt thoroughly, it will have a rich, cheesecake-like flavor. The moment the peach juice and honey blend together is when it tastes best.
In Closing
The liquid left over from yogurt (whey) turns into a delicious drink when mixed with sparkling water and a squeeze of lemon! Even though your days are busy, try to take a little time to clear your mind while enjoying this parfait. I’m rooting for you.
