# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It takes exactly ten minutes and looks like something from a cafe menu.
- The contrast between creamy yogurt, sweet peaches, and crunchy granola hits every texture you crave in one spoonful.
02 -
- Wait too long to serve and the granola turns soggy which defeats the whole point of layering.
- Tossing the peaches with honey before assembling draws out their natural juices and creates a syrupy layer that binds everything together.
03 -
- Use a tall clear glass so every stripe of peach yogurt and granola is visible because people taste with their eyes first.
- Keep a small bowl of extra granola on the side so guests can add more crunch if their parfait sits for a few minutes.
