Healthy Natural Raspberry Yoghurt Parfait
You may remember me complaining a few weeks back how we, UK peeps, haven’t had a summer yet. In fact, all it did was rain.
I take that back! It’s hot, hot, HOT now, and we don’t have air con here! *wafts self frantically*
Well, nowhere as near as hot as Americana though, but with so little warmer weather to acclimatise to, us Brits just aren’t used to it.
To picture a typical British summer, think of the latter side of a middle aged man, complete with beer belly [and quite possibly a hairy back] sporting a tank top complete with lobster red skin. Mmm, sexy… NOT! That’s pretty much what we see as soon as the sun manages to work its way through the rain clouds. It’s not a pretty site at all.
Not to fear, I can make it all better for you with a no bake, healthy, 3 ingredient treat. And all this in under 5 minutes flat. Yes please!
Never in this world would I consider myself a healthy person. I mean, have you ever seen the rest of my blog posts? 😉 Ha!
Especially the Marshmallow Fluff based Monster Cookies with a bucketload of different candies. Eeps!
But I do have a slight obsession with yogurt. I literally love every single type/flavour (except coffee-yuck!), and even have a yogurt maker.
That’s how I came up with this idea for a summer cooling Raspberry Yogurt Parfait recipe. I wanted something quick and easy, that doesn’t make you break into a sweat to make, that’s nice and cold to eat with a flavour of summer.
I used frozen raspberries as I wanted to coat them in sugar – when they start to thaw, the sugar makes them glossy. But that’s completely optional and you can use fresh raspberries, or whatever berries you fancy.
All the ingredients you need:
- Any natural yogurt (whether shop bought or home made)
- Raspberries
- Raspberry conserve or jam
That’s it!
There are no specific measurements in the recipe below as it’s easier to just eyeball it when mixed to ensure you added enough conserve to your desired taste.
Raspberry Yogurt Parfait
This Raspberry Yogurt Parfait is perfect for hot summer days like today. It's healthy too with only 2-3 ingredients needed, and ready in under 5 minutes!
Ingredients:
- Low fat natural yogurt
- Raspberry conserve
- Fresh or frozen raspberries, optional
- Granulated sugar, optional
Directions:
- Optional - Turn the glass upside down and wet the rim equally and dip into plain or coloured sugar. I didn’t do this step but wished I had after.
- If using a wine glass, place a few raspberries at the bottom. For flat bottomed glasses, jars, etc. place enough raspberries to cover the bottom. Spoon enough natural yogurt into the bottom to cover the raspberries to create a layer.
- In a small bowl, spoon some natural yoghurt and add some natural conserve and stir to combine. Add more conserve if necessary to your taste. I used around 5 level dessert spoons of natural yogurt and 2 semi-heaped spoons of raspberry conserve to my taste.
- Spoon out the raspberry yogurt on top of the natural yogurt to make alternating layers of mixed and unmixed yogurts, ensuring that when you nearly reach the top, the last layer is unmixed natural yogurt.
- Roll the raspberries in sugar and place one (or more) on top of the parfait. Don't add too many though, they'll sink if you do - optional.
Notes:
- Feel free to mix it up with different flavour conserves. Or if you don't have any conserves in, gently simmer the fruit with some sugar on the stovetop until the juices start to thicken, and stir in a small amount of cornflour (cornstarch) to make your own fruit fillings. Blueberry and lemon sounds delicious.
- It's completely option whether you want to use fruit rolled in sugar. If using fresh fruit, damped slightly and then roll in the sugar. Frozen fruit will already be damp from thawing.
What’s your favourite treat to enjoy on a hot summer day?
Delicious raspberry yogurt I like flavored yogurt a lot.
This is a great summer treat! Good idea!
This yogurt looks incredible, Lisa! Welcome to summertime… sweaty weather and gross people in tank tops, ugh. But the best part about it all is eating this scrumptious yogurt! I love raspberries and yogurt, and what a refreshing treat to eat during this heat!! (Wow, that rhymed lol)
I love yogurt, and your presentation of it is gorgeous! Enjoy summer 🙂
I love this, I have a yogurt and raspberries in the fridge. Sounds like great plan. thanks for the idea!
I actually have all those ingredients in my fridge at the moment, including that exact brand of yoghurt. Looks Like I’ll be having a fancy pudding tonight!
This looks utterly heavenly my friend, fantastic job 😀
Simple and so refreshing!

This looks like the perfect way to beat the heat. I just love yogurt and eat it just about every day, especially when it’s hot:) Thanks for visiting my blog!
I think it looks awesome, even without the rim of sugar.
By the way, I think that where I live follows the same climate as London. It has been raining all summer, until now. Now it’s SO hot. And people keep complaining everyday. No one is ever happy.
…Until they try this yogurt. Or wear a tank top revealing a hairy back and beer belly :p
What a beautiful and refreshing treat! Love the raspberry at the bottom of the cup too!
I love the way your walls are the same colour as the mixed yoghurt. Simple but delicious.
Fantastic start to a summer day! I love having this with peanut butter as well–tastes just like a PB&J sammy. Thanks for sharing!
YUM! And can I get another YUM!? Seriously, this looks delicious! I need this after a hardcore workout with a scoop of protein powder!! Thanks for sharing!
This certainly looks delicious, Lisa, and your photographs are beautiful!

Oh Lisa, this is such a beautiful and girly photo. Has Jo written all over it. Ok ok, maybe not, but does it count cause I do seriously love strawberries and pink. Perfect and light. This is something I would dig into without feeling the sense of guilt. Then again I am a foodie, no calorie counting for me. Hehe.. Have a wonderful weekend ahead!
