Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 12 Medjool dates
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 3 cups frozen mixed berries (1 pound)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 4 cups Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

  • For the brownie crumbles: In the bowl of a food processor, add walnuts and process on high until the nuts are finely ground. Add the cocoa powder and kosher salt. Pulse to combine.
  • Remove the pits from the dates. Turn on the food processor and as it is running, add the dates one at a time. Stop processing once the mixture is crumbly but easily formable. Add the almonds and pulse several times to combine.
  • In a small square dish, press the brownie mixture into a layer at least 1 inch thick (even if it does not fill the entire dish), or thicker if desired. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • For the berry compote: place the frozen berries, fresh lemon juice, and maple syrup in a skillet over medium heat. Stir for several minutes until fruit is thawed. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water, then pour into skillet and heat until the sauce is thickened.
  • For the yogurt layer: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  • To assemble the parfait, layer yogurt, crumbles of raw brownies, and berry compote in a tall glass.
