Yogurt Parfait With Mulled Red Wine Syrup Oranges And Almonds Recipes

SIX-STORY FRUIT YOGURT PARFAIT

Steps:

• Spoon 1/8 cup bran flakes into the bottom of 6 parfait glasses. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, and set aside briefly. In another bowl, use an electric mixer to whip together yogurt, honey, and cream cheese. Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese-yogurt mixture. Spoon 1/4 cup of the cream mixture on top of the bran flakes in each glass. In another bowl, combine, red and white grapes, and blueberries. Slice in bananas and squeeze lime juice on top to prevent oxidation. Gently fold in raspberries. Spoon 1/4 cup of the fruit over the cream in each glass. Then repeat with 1/4 cup layer of cream followed by another 1/4 cup layer of fruit. Spoon 1/8 cup hazelnut and chocolate paste on top of the second fruit layer and garnish with mint sprigs.

ORANGE AND YOGURT PARFAITS WITH RED WINE CARAMEL

Steps:

• Stir sugar, star anise, cream of tartar, and 3 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan to blend. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, swirling occasionally (do not stir), until sugar is caramelized and the color of dark maple syrup, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully add 1/4 cup red wine (mixture will bubble vigorously), stirring to dissolve. Add remaining 1/4 cup red wine. Boil for 30 seconds, stirring to make sure all sugar is dissolved. Let cool completely. DO AHEAD: Red wine caramel can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm slightly to loosen before using.
• Using a sharp knife, remove all peel and white pith from oranges. Slice into 1/8"-1/4" rings.
• Layer 1-2 orange rings (cut slices in half if large) each in the bottom of small glass jars (clear jars or glasses show off the pretty layers, but you can also use bowls). Drizzle with 1 generous teaspoon red wine caramel; top with a spoonful of yogurt. Sprinkle nuts over. Repeat layering twice more, ending with nuts. Drizzle a bit more caramel over; garnish parfaits with mint leaves. DO AHEAD: Parfaits can be made 30 minutes ahead. Cover; chill.

• Combine the blueberries, raspberries and strawberries in a bowl. Add the sugar. Let stand 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Place 1/4 cup yogurt in the bottom of five 8-ounce glasses. Top with 2 tablespoons of the berry mixture. Repeat the layers once. Top each serving with 1/4 cup of yogurt and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of granola. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon honey.

ALMOND-VANILLA YOGURT PARFAITS

YOGURT PARFAIT WITH MULLED RED WINE SYRUP, ORANGES, AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Toast the almond slices in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until they are lightly browned and begin to smell toasty, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully; nuts can burn quickly. Transfer to a dish to cool.
• Use a chef's knife to slice off both ends of the orange. Stand the orange on one end, hold it steady with one hand, and slice from the top edge downward along the curve of the fruit, cutting away both the peel and the pith but leaving as much of the flesh as possible. Working over a bowl to catch the juices, hold the orange in one hand and use a paring knife in the other to cut between the sections, detaching each section of fruit from its surrounding membrane. Let the sections fall into the bowl as you work.
• Drop a few orange sections into the bottom of a large-bowled wineglass or champagne flute. Drizzle with a tablespoon of red wine syrup and top with a few almonds and then 2 or 3 tablespoons of yogurt. Repeat several times until the ingredients are used up, ending with oranges, syrup, and almonds on top if possible, and eat.
