Ingredients




2 cups non-fat plain yogurt
3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups pitted cherries
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Preparation

1 In a large bowl combine the yogurt, honey, and vanilla; mix well and set aside. 2 Mix the oats and the cocoa together and pour in a skillet. 3 Toast the oats over medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool completely and set aside. 4 Put the pitted cherries in the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, or until soft. Cool completely. 5 Assemble the parfaits by pouring a 1/2 cup of yogurt in each glass. 6 Spoon over some of the oats, top with half of the cherries, then pour the rest of the yogurt on top, and finish off with more oats and cherries. 7 Put the parfaits in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving. 8 I partially froze mine and pretended that I was eating ice cream with the rest. In fact, I urge you to freeze it because it is that much better when frozen.
