The Best Yogurt Parfait Ever

The other day I was channel flipping while my little man napped and as I passed by The Food Network the Pioneer Woman was on. I love her! I read her book about how her and her husband met, I browse her blog and I follow her on Facebook. I love how genuine and kind she is and I love how she is a city girl turned country. I just think she would be an amazing woman to meet and be friends with. Well needless to say, I stayed on that channel to see what she was cooking up. Her Menu was "The Best Ever" and it all looked delicious, but the one that stood out the most was The Best Yogurt Parfait Ever. My mouth was watering while watching her prepare this yummy treat. When my hubby and I went grocery shopping yesterday I made sure to grab the ingredients to try it out!
So today while we were driving home from the hair salon, Eli was saying that he was super hungry so I immediately decided to make the yogurt parfaits. Well Eli did NOT like that idea. He complained the entire ride home, then he complained while I was making it and then he complained until he put the first bite into his mouth! All he could say was YUM! These are really good! LOL I showed him! :)
So even though these aren't Pinterest inspired I still felt like they were good enough to share, and hopefully they will inspire someone else Pinterest surfing!

The Inspiration

Ingredients
One 17 1/2-ounce container plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar
Assorted berries (or other fruit of your choice)

Directions
First, pour the yogurt into a bowl. Then add the cream and vanilla. With a whisk, carefully stir until combined. It should be nice and thick.

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the yogurt mixture. Do not stir the mixture. Cover the bowl with foil or plastic wrap and tightly seal the edges. Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes.

When you are ready to serve, place a small handful of berries (or other fruit) into a bowl or cup. Without stirring the mixture, spoon the yogurt over the berries. There will be creamy areas and brown sugar areas. Repeat the layers once, ending with berries on top.
