Notes
- This makes a rich dessert as it is made with dates and nuts. So I make two small sized parfaits with the measurements given above.
- I used raw pecans. The nuts can be roasted as well.
- If planning ahead, the yogurt can be hung to remove excess water. It is an optional step which I skip but gives more defined layers :) Use 3/4 cup yogurt if you are planning to drain the water from it.
- Using the same idea, you can prepare yogurt parfaits using different fruits and toppings.
