My Freeze Dried Fruit Trick: Blueberry Gingersnap Yogurt Parfaits

Before



I love freeze dried fruit and I love yogurt parfaits.  I don’t love crunchy fruit in my parfait.
 
Solution:  Make up the parfait using freeze dried fruit (don’t rehydrate) and let it sit for about 10 minutes (or longer overnight is fine).  Problem solved. 

My favorite yogurt parfait recipe:  Blueberry Gingersnap Yogurt Parfait
  • Freeze Dried Blueberries (or fresh or frozen)
  • Non-fat Greek Gods Vanilla Honey Yogurt (NO Substitutions this really is the best Greek yogurt out there)
  • Gingersnaps, crumbled
  • lemon curd (optional)
In each parfait glasses, put 1/2 cup blueberries, followed by 1/2 cup yogurt, then crumbled gingersnaps, repeat the layers until the glass is full.  Top with lemon curd (optional but delicious)  Allow to sit 10 minutes or until the blueberries are soft. Enjoy.
