Tips & Variations

For added texture, layer the parfait with crushed graham crackers or granola between the yogurt mixtures.
Use natural peanut butter for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
Try different jams such as raspberry or strawberry to customize your parfait.
If you prefer a sweeter parfait, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup on top.

Storage

Store the parfait in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. It is best enjoyed fresh, as the toppings may become soggy over time. If needed, give it a gentle stir or add fresh toppings before serving.

How to Serve

A clear glass cup filled with a three-layer dessert is placed on a white marbled texture. The bottom layer is a thick, smooth, white cream. Above this sits a bright red, glossy fruit or jelly layer that looks sticky and fresh. The top layer is a mix of crunchy textures and colors, including crumbly golden brown pieces, smooth light brown peanut butter drizzles, and a few scattered dried strawberry pink chips. The dessert looks rich with a mix of creamy, sticky, and crunchy elements. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of PB2 powder?

Yes, you can substitute regular peanut butter, but it will alter the texture and fat content of the parfait. PB2 powder provides a lighter, powdered peanut butter flavor with less fat.

Is this recipe suitable for vegans?

This recipe uses fat free vanilla Greek yogurt and cheesecake filling, which typically contain dairy, so it is not vegan. You can try a vegan yogurt and vegan cheesecake alternative to make it plant-based.
