Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
These parfaits are a refreshing and easy way to enjoy a healthy treat. The tartness of the rhubarb pairs perfectly with creamy yogurt, creating a balance of flavors that feels light but satisfying. They are also quick to assemble, making them perfect for busy mornings or a simple dessert.
Step 1
Combin the rhubarb, water, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Let it come to a boil, stirring every now and then. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down and softens, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the honey and keep cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens a bit, then take it off the heat.
Step 2
Line up five jars (about 12 to 16 ounces each) so you can assemble the parfaits easily. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the rhubarb mixture into the bottom of each jar. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cracker crumbs on top, then add around 2/3 cup of yogurt.
Step 3
Repeat by adding the remaining rhubarb and cracker crumbs over the yogurt. Finish each jar with a tablespoon of crushed walnuts. Seal the jars and pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy.

Serving Ideas For Every Meal
Serve chilled in clear glasses to show off the beautiful layers. You can top with granola, nuts, or fresh berries for extra crunch and color. These parfaits also pair well with a cup of herbal tea or a light breakfast smoothie.
Leftover Care Tips
Store the parfaits in airtight containers in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 2 days, but for best texture, add crunchy toppings just before serving. If using pre-made rhubarb, make sure it has cooled completely before layering.
