Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt. Adjust the amount of honey to your sweetness preference. For a smoother matcha yogurt, sift the matcha powder before mixing to prevent lumps.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute Greek yogurt with regular plain yogurt, though the texture will be thinner. Maple syrup can replace honey. Any type of crunchy topping like chopped nuts or toasted coconut flakes can be used instead of granola. Feel free to use other fruits like sliced kiwi or mandarin oranges.

Storage & Reheating

This parfait is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to prepare it ahead, store the matcha yogurt, anko, and granola separately and assemble just before serving to maintain texture.
