This years summer has been full of mangoes at my house. We tried to make up for all the mangoes we missed last year due to pandemic too. Every time we had only two mangoes left, my dad would order another kilo. It hardly took us 2-3 days to finish them until he had to order another one. I made a lot of desserts this year with mangoes. The recipe round up of all my mango desserts of 2021 is on the blog and also on my instagram. Go check it out, see what you like and make it before the season is over!

Not very long ago I had stumbled upon a strawberry parfait recipe but by then it was too late, the season was already over. So I decided to make parfait with mangoes instead.

There's no such thing as an exact recipe for this one.

It makes up for a great and healthy breakfast option! Because I had to put it up on the blog, I had to make it look all fancy and layer them in a glass. On ordinary days, I'd just dump everything in the bowl, mix and eat it! I have still mentioned the method and layering (if you want to fancy it up) below.

Before that here are a few pointers :

1. You can add any granola of your choice. I make my granola at home. Comment below and tell me if I should put the recipe of homemade granola too.

2. You can either use mango pulp or if you like having those little chunks of mangoes in your bowl, cut them into pieces and add.

3. I recommend using thick yogurt. Doesn't have to be hung but also not very loose.

4. Adding chia seeds to the yogurt is completely optional.

5. Add honey in the yogurt depending on the sweetness of your mangoes.

6. Do not make this parfait and leave it overnight. The yogurt will make the granola soggy.

Instead you can leave the chia and yogurt mix in the fridge overnight and assemble it the next day.
