Fancy Yogurt Parfaits
We’re obsessed with the pretty little glass jars that Oui Yogurts come in. Small berries or pomegranate seeds are great to use for parfaits because they don’t require any prep or cutting. Be sure to get lots of fresh berries and different flavors of yogurt too. All you have to do is have everyone choose their Oui and have them build their ultimate parfait. Be sure to save the jars after everyone has enjoyed them. Remove the labels then run them through the dishwasher because they make fantastic tea light candle holders or desert cups.
