    Everything about this Greek parfait is absolutely bliss. This is happiness in a glass my friends. True happiness!

    I'm not even playing you. The moment I thought of making this recipe, I knew it was going to be good. And I always know when something is good by the way my kids react to it.

    Like with these chocolaty S'mores Crescent Rolls or these yummy, yummy Rice Krispies Treats, they almost couldn't wait for me to take the pictures.!

    Once I did, they gobbled each and every one of the parfaits like it was candy. I practically had to beg my son to let me try a little. Yes! It was that good. 

    This simple papaya dessert is wonderfully creamy and it's healthy too!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is papaya?

    Papaya is a fruit from Central America and southern Mexico. It has a wonderful sweet flavor that is comparable to melon.

    It is rich in fibre, Vitamin C and antioxidants. It has anti-inflammatories and is rich in Vitamin A.

    If you love papaya as much as I do, be sure to check out my Papaya Milkshake.

    Why use Greek yogurt?

    You can use plain yogurt in this parfait, but I like to use Greek Yogurt for some extra goodness. It has less sugar than regular yogurt and is rich in protein, Vitamin B12, Potassium and Calcium.

    Can you make this with other fruits?

    This simple Greek yogurt parfait is so easy to adapt to your tastes and add in whatever fresh fruits you have to hand. Strawberries, mango and blueberry all work great!

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    • It's best to serve this papaya dessert as soon as you've made it. It will keep covered in the fridge for a couple of hours if you want to make it ahead of time.
    • I used vanilla Greek yogurt, but you can use plain or another flavor if you prefer.
    • The honey can be swapped for maple syrup if you prefer.

    This is definitely the healthiest and tastiest dessert I've ever made. Yes, it's so yummy that it qualifies as a dessert, or breakfast, or snack. Heck! Have it for lunch or even dinner if you'd like. I'm sure that would be fine, too.
