# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes but looks fancy enough for brunch guests
  • You get that perfect sweet and creamy satisfaction without any refined sugar crashes
  • The protein keeps you full for hours while still feeling like a treat
02 -
  • The cashew butter needs to be at room temperature or it will seize up into stubborn lumps when it hits the cold yogurt
  • These parfaits hold up for about four hours in the fridge, but the granola starts losing its crunch after that point
  • Mixing the cashew butter into the yogurt before layering is far superior to swirling it in later, which leaves uneven pockets of intense nuttiness
03 -
  • Buy cashew butter from stores with high turnover, as older jars often develop a slightly bitter off flavor that ruins the delicate balance
  • If your yogurt mixture feels too thick to layer gracefully, thin it with a teaspoon of milk or cream until it reaches a spoonable consistency
  • Pat wet berries dry with paper towels before layering to prevent the bottom layer from becoming watery and soggy within an hour
