Author Notes

This fuss-free dessert has incredibly special flavors and can be done with accessible ingredients. It's a quick and delightful treat with citrus flavors, combined with tangy Greek yogurt, coconut and intense dark chocolate sauce. For a vegan version, simply use non-dairy milk and non-dairy yogurt (coconut versions are an amazing option in this case!). If you're not using orange cubes; green grapes, star fruit or peach slices also work well. Feel free to create and innovate! The "cold" part can be made ahead of time. —Clarice FV

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • Parfait
  • 3 tablespoons orange zest
  • 3 cubed large oranges (without the white part or the seeds)
  • 600 grams Greek yogurt of choice
  • juice of 1 lime (or lemon)
  • 6 tablespoons coconut flakes/shavings
  • Chocolate Sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar (or any other kind)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate powder
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 300 milliliters milk (of any kind)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil/butter)
  • 1 pinch salt
Directions
  1. Parfait
  2. Zest the three oranges. Peel and remove the seeds, then cut them into bite-size pieces. Set it aside.
  3. Squeeze the lime juice and set it aside.
  4. Mix the coconut flakes/shavings with the Greek yogurt.
  5. Place in 6 small bowls equal amounts of the yogurt and pour the lime juice on top.
  6. Then, place the orange cubes over the yogurt/lime juice. Put the bowls in the fridge to chill for 20 minutes. (Meanwhile, make the chocolate sauce).
  1. Chocolate Sauce
  2. For the chocolate sauce, place all the ingredients in a saucepan. Whisk everything very well.
  3. Turn on the heat and let it thicken for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid lumps. In the end, it should be shiny and thick.
  4. To assemble, take the cold bowls out of the fridge and pour the warm chocolate sauce on top.
  5. Sprinkle the orange zest to garnish. Voilà!
