Creamy Greek yogurt layered with sweet guava preserves, fresh fruit, and crunchy granola for a refreshing tropical treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt

02 - 1 cup guava preserves or guava jam
03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

# How to Make It:

01 - Stir the guava preserves to loosen them if thick and set aside.
02 - In 4 serving glasses or jars, spoon 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each.
03 - Add a layer of guava preserves, approximately 1 tablespoon per glass, spreading gently.
04 - Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola over the guava layer.
05 - Add a mix of strawberries and kiwi over the granola.
06 - Repeat the layering sequence: yogurt, guava preserves, granola, and fresh fruit.
07 - Top with optional coconut and mint. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or refrigerate up to 1 hour before serving.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It takes barely ten minutes but feels indulgent enough for a weekend treat.
  • The tropical flavor hits different when you layer it yourself, making each spoonful a little surprise.
  • You can prep it in advance and let the flavors marry while you're still in your pajamas.
02 -
  • The granola texture is the whole point of eating this immediately—wait too long and it softens into the yogurt, which is lovely in its own way but completely different.
  • Stir your preserves first; I learned this the hard way by trying to layer thick guava jam straight from the jar, and it just sat there in stubborn clumps instead of mingling with the yogurt.
03 -
  • Use chilled glasses straight from the fridge; cold glassware keeps everything cool longer and makes the eating experience feel more special.
  • Buy a block of fresh mint at the farmers market and you'll start finding reasons to use it everywhere—this dessert suddenly has a secret ingredient that changes everything.
