Summer Berry Parfait
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup crunchy granola
- Make the simple syrup by combining the sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil and stir until all the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
- Combine the sour cream, heavy cream, honey, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a small bowl with a whisk or fork.
- Set aside.
- Place the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries in 3 separate small bowls.
- Set aside 4 berries for garnish.
- Add approximately half of the simple syrup to the strawberries and mix gently with a flexible spatula so as not to bruise the fruit.
- Divide the remaining syrup between the raspberries and blueberries, mixing gently.
- To assemble each parfait, place 1 tablespoon of the granola in the bottom of each of 4 glasses, breaking up any big chunks with your fingers.
- Top with the strawberries and a layer of cream.
- (Use about 1/2 cup total of the cream, smoothing it to the edge of the glasses with a spoon.)
- Add a layer of blueberries and another layer of cream, followed by a layer of raspberries.
- Finish with a final dollop of cream.
- Top each parfait with some of the remaining granola and the remaining reserved berries.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.
