Steps (6)
Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, yogurt, granulated sugar, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the Peaches: In another bowl, toss the peach slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
Prepare the Graham Cracker Crumbs: In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
Assemble the Parfaits:
In each serving glass, start with a layer of graham cracker crumbs.
Add a layer of the ricotta mixture.
Top with a layer of peach slices.
Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of peaches on top.
Optional Drizzle: Drizzle a little honey over the top of each parfait for added sweetness, if desired.
Chill and Serve: Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Additional tips
- Use Fresh Peaches: For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season peaches.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the ricotta mixture and peach slices ahead of time and assemble the parfaits just before serving.
- Variations: Try using other fruits like berries or mangoes for a different twist.
- To make more: double the ingredients.
