• 1/4 cup Swerve sweetener (or sweetener of your choice)
• 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
• 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed

For the Parfait

• 4 peaches, ripe, diced
• 24 oz Greek yogurt
• 1 cup granola, paleo

How to Make It

Start by preparing the peach compote.

1. Combine ingredients for compote

In a saucepan, mix the chopped peaches, Swerve sweetener, arrowroot powder, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are softened and the mixture thickens, about 10–15 minutes.

2. Cool the mixture

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the peach compote cool to room temperature. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

3. Prepare the yogurt layer

While the compote cools, take your Greek yogurt and set it aside for assembling. This preparation ensures that you can layer everything without delays.

4. Assemble the parfait

In serving glasses or bowls, start by adding a layer of Greek yogurt. Follow it with a layer of diced peaches, then spoon some peach compote on top. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with yogurt.

5. Add granola

Sprinkle granola on top of each parfait for a crunchy finish. If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream for extra richness.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store covered for up to 2 days.
Freezer: No, because yogurt may separate.
Reheat: Not needed; serve chilled.

Tips for Best Results

• Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture.
