Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait

Store-bought parfaits tend to contain added sugars or artificial sweeteners to counter the naturally acidic and sour flavor of yogurt. But is all that sugar really needed to make a tasty treat? Rather than opting for the store-bought variations, try preparing your own with seasonal fruit and a small amount of honey or maple syrup. Seasonal (or frozen) fruit paired with a drizzle of honey and served over a scoop of yogurt strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tart. Feel free to experiment with other fruits and various toppings (nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, coconut, etc.) to make your own unique tasty parfait.

Kick off Your Morning (Or Finish Off Your Day) with this Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait

My family can’t wait for rhubarb season. On the first warm day after winter, they start asking if it’s time for strawberry rhubarb pie. As a result, I spend the first few weeks of spring eagerly awaiting these bright red stalks in the grocery store.

If you’re not in the mood to put together an entire pie, this simple parfait recipe gives you all the delicious flavor in just a few quick steps. This season, my family has been delighted to have me testing AH friendly pie crusts for the new Cookbook, Always Delicious. However, if you’re looking for a quick-and-easy crisp topping, try topping the parfait with nuts or Phase 3 Granola (Always Hungry? page 229).

The possibilities with this strawberry rhubarb sauce don’t end with a parfait! Try topping our Grain-Free Waffles with the rhubarb sauce in place of our classic fruit sauce. Or, blend into a power shake for a bright and refreshing smoothie. Experiment with a few ideas and find something that you LOVE! Then, share your recipes in the comments below or on our Facebook Group – we’re always excited to see what you’ve been cooking!

Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait

Chef Dawn Ludwig
Rhubarb is a tangy vegetable that acts just like fruit in recipes. Best known for its sour flavor, rhubarb has a fresh, green scent and sharp, juicy bite that pairs perfectly with strawberries or other sweet fruits. This classic pie filling is one of my favorites since it is so seasonal. It combines two items of produce that are at their peak of freshness at the same time, making it truly a seasonal delight.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound strawberries, quartered
  • 5 stalks rhubarb, diced (about 3 cups)
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 3-4 tbsp honey
  • 4 cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup nuts of your choice (optional)

Instructions
 

  • First, place strawberries, rhubarb, water, and honey in a large pot or Dutch oven. The water is just enough to keep it from burning until the natural juices create a luscious filling.
  • Then, cover and heat over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The fruit will release its liquid and then thicken to a pie filling consistency. If you like the rhubarb a little crisp and crunchy, you can stop now. However, if you prefer the rhubarb softer, turn to low and simmer an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft. The rhubarb will dissolve if you simmer it the extra 10 minutes or more.
  • Finally, in a parfait cup or glass (wine glasses work beautifully for this), layer 1/4 cup yogurt followed by 1/4 cup of the fruit mixture and repeat for a 4 layer dish. Top with 1 tablespoon nuts or Phase 3 Granola.
