# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It comes together in under ten minutes but looks like something from a cafe window
- The contrast between creamy yogurt and crunchy granola never gets old
- You can prep everything the night before and assemble while the coffee brews
02 -
- The granola will soften significantly after an hour, so add it right before serving if texture matters to you
- Room temperature yogurt layers more smoothly than cold straight from the refrigerator
- These parfaits can be assembled the night before but the granola will lose its crunch completely
03 -
- Place a paper towel in the bottom of your serving tray to catch any drips from the honey drizzle
- Warm your honey slightly for 15 seconds in the microwave if it has crystallized
- Use a small funnel or piping bag for the yogurt layers to keep the glass sides clean
