Easy Raspberry & Mango Yogurt Parfait

There’s something uniquely satisfying about a dessert crafted just for you. An individual portion means no sharing required—just pure, unadulterated bliss in a glass or bowl. Whether you’re craving the rich, nostalgic comfort of a classic Butterscotch Pudding, the elegant fusion of Dark Chocolate Orange Creams, or the warm spice of freshly baked Cinnamon Balls, a personal-sized treat is the perfect way to end a meal or brighten an afternoon.

From simple, summery Quick Peach Melba Crumbles to today’s star recipe, these desserts prove that showstopping flavor doesn’t require hours in the kitchen. Today, we’re focusing on a treat that is as beautiful as it is delicious: the Raspberry & Mango Yogurt Parfait.

This vibrant parfait layers sweet, juicy mango with tart raspberries, creamy yogurt, and a delightfully crunchy oat crumble. It’s an incredibly easy dessert to assemble, can be prepared ahead of time for guests, and brings a touch of elegance to any occasion. The balance of textures and fresh flavors makes it a guaranteed favorite.

Ingredients

• For the Oat Crumble:
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
• For the Fruit & Yogurt Layers:
  • 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, divided
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oat Crumble: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cubed cold butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Spread the mixture on a small baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Let it cool completely.
2. Prepare the Yogurt: In a separate bowl, gently stir the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
3. Prepare the Fruit: Gently mash half of the raspberries with a fork to create a quick, chunky sauce. Leave the other half whole for layering.
4. Assemble the Parfaits: Choose four clear glasses or jars. Begin layering your ingredients. Start with a spoonful of the mashed raspberries at the bottom, followed by a layer of the vanilla yogurt. Add a layer of diced mango, then sprinkle with some of the cooled oat crumble.
5. Repeat and Chill: Repeat the layers—yogurt, whole raspberries, mango, and a final sprinkle of crumble on top. You can serve immediately, or for best results, chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish with a fresh mint leaf and a few remaining raspberries. Enjoy!
