Vegan Berry Yogurt Parfait
🌱 Vegan Berry Yogurt Parfait 🍓🫐
This Vegan Berry Yogurt Parfait is creamy, fruity, and beautiful in a glass. Thick dairy-free yogurt gets swirled with a glossy berry sauce, then piled high with fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. It looks fancy, but it comes together in minutes.
I love this for breakfast, a snack, or a light dessert. The sauce ribbons through the yogurt so every spoonful has a little sweet-tart berry flavor. 💚

The Secret to Those Pretty Berry Swirls
Use a thick yogurt so the sauce doesn’t sink straight to the bottom. Spoon the berry sauce down the inside of the glass, then add the yogurt and give it one gentle swirl with a knife or skewer. Don’t overmix — you want ribbons, not pink yogurt.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
What vegan yogurt works best? 🥛
A thick coconut, almond, or soy yogurt holds the swirl best. If yours is thin, strain it in a cloth for 20–30 minutes.
Can I use frozen berries for the sauce? 🧊
Yes. Simmer them until they break down, then strain if you want a smoother sauce. Use fresh berries for the topping.
Can I make it ahead? 🕒
The sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Assemble the parfaits just before serving so the topping stays fresh.

Notes & Tips 💡
- A thick yogurt is the difference between pretty swirls and a watery parfait.
- Add granola if you want crunch, but keep it on top so it stays crisp.
- For a lighter sauce, skip the cornstarch and just mash the cooked berries.
- This also works in a bowl if you don’t want to layer it in glasses.
