fruit parfait

Yogurt berry stack

A fruit parfait is a layered dessert of fresh fruit, yogurt or cream, and granola or other crunchy elements, typically assembled in a clear glass to show the layers.

In American usage, it's often a breakfast item or light snack: I grabbed a fruit parfait from the café.

The French original is a frozen cream dessert; the fruit-and-yogurt version is largely an American adaptation.
