Instructions

Set the base: Begin by spooning a generous layer of vanilla yogurt into a clear glass or bowl, about an inch high. This will create the creamy foundation for your parfait.
Add fruit layer: Layer colorful fruits such as strawberries and blueberries on top of the yogurt to add natural sweetness and vibrant color.
Add crunch: Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of granola as the third layer, providing a delightful crunch and texture contrast.
Repeat layers: Continue layering yogurt, mixed fruit, and granola until the glass or bowl is filled to your desired height for a beautifully stratified parfait.
Create the ghostly top: Top the final layer with a generous dollop of whipped cream to evoke a ghost-like appearance. Decorate by adding chocolate chips for the ‘eyes’ on your ghost’s face.
Decorate with gel: Use the food-safe decorating gel to create spooky designs such as ghost faces, bats, or spider webs directly on the whipped cream or glass for added Halloween fun.
Final touch: Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top for extra sweetness if desired, then sprinkle chia seeds on or around the parfait for a nutritious boost.
Serve immediately: Enjoy your ghostly parfait fresh for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use clear glasses or bowls to highlight the beautiful layered effect of the parfait.
Fresh, seasonal fruits work best for optimal flavor and color.
The granola can be substituted with nuts or seeds for different textures or to accommodate dietary preferences.
Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids but can be omitted if preferred.
If you prefer less sweetness, you can skip the honey or maple syrup drizzle.
Prepare the parfaits just before serving to keep the granola crunchy.
