This simple parfait is perfect for breakfast, brunch or dessert! Made of roasted cherries, yogurt, and a quick granola crumble, this cherry parfait is a favorite!
There is just something about a parfait that I love. Maybe it is the mixture of creamy and crunchy with sweet and scrumptious! This roasted cherry parfait has to be one of my favorite parfait recipes, too. Which is saying a lot considering how much I love my peach version! It begins with roasting fresh, or even frozen, whole cherries and making a quick granola.
Layered with Greek yogurt or your own favorite yogurt, it makes for a decadent and satisfying treat.
By roasting the cherries, they release even more of their juices and softens them a bit, making them even easier to eat and enjoy in this parfait. Again, you can use fresh cherries that you’ve pitted when they are in season or you can also use frozen cherries making this a year-round favorite.
For the granola crumble, I used oats, nuts, and shredded coconut. Of course, you can easily customize this to include your favorites. I love the flavor combination of cherries, coconut, and almonds, so that was what I included. Walnut, pecans or pistachios would also be delicious in this parfait.
My recipe is for one large parfait, but is perfect for making as two, if you prefer.
Here’s my Roasted Cherry Parfait Recipe. I hope you love it!

I think that is one, heavenly sweet and mouth-watering parfait you got there! Thank you Robyn. My wife and I share a love for desserts, especially those that have lots of cereal, dairy, and fruits in them. Can I use vanilla ice cream instead of Greek yogurt? I just think this will make a nice cold treat in the summer and my kids will surely love it too.
Of course, it would be delicious!
I love parfaits for nothing else that they looks so special. I always feel like its party time. So to make one for breakfast is a most excellent way to begin your day with an extra lift.
So gorgeous! I need to make these soon!
