Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
Wash and dice the strawberries. If they’re not very sweet, sprinkle them with sugar or a drizzle of honey and let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
Step 2: Create the Bunny Ears
Cut marshmallows in half diagonally to create oval shapes. Dip the sticky sides into pink sugar or press in a small piece of strawberry to make the inside of the bunny ears. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Parfait Layers
In each cup or jar, begin with a spoonful of crushed graham crackers or granola. Add a layer of yogurt, then a layer of strawberries. Repeat until the cup is nearly full, finishing with a layer of yogurt or whipped cream.
Step 4: Decorate the Bunny Face
Use two mini chocolate chips or candy eyes for the eyes. Place a small pink candy or berry piece as the nose. Add the marshmallow ears at the top. For an extra touch, add a dollop of whipped cream at the back of the cup to resemble a bunny tail.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to a few hours until ready to enjoy. They’re best served chilled and fresh.
Notes
- Use chilled yogurt or whipped cream to help the layers hold their shape.
- Wipe down the inside of the glass with a damp towel if layers get messy.
- Layer lightly—don’t press down too hard or the layers will mix.
