Rhubarb is abundant in the springtime in Alberta try these parfaits layered with Greek yogurt and graham cracker crumbs for a great make-ahead dessert! This recipe is part of our April meal plan.

Ingredients:

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tsp honey

1 tsp lemon zest

3 large stalks of fresh rhubarb, trimmed and sliced into ½ inch pieces

¼ cup granulated sugar

⅓ cup water

Squeeze of lemon juice

¾ cup graham cracker crumbs

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp salted butter, melted

Directions:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey and lemon zest. Let sit in refrigerator until stewed rhubarb is ready.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, and water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved.
  3. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until rhubarb is tender but not completely falling apart, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally, very gently.
  4. Once the rhubarb is cooked, gently stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and taste for sweetness. If the mixture is a bit tart, stir in more sugar, one teaspoon at a time.
  5. Let mixture cool completely, then store covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
  6. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter.
  7. In small jars or glasses, layer yogurt mixture, stewed rhubarb and graham crumbs, repeating until all ingredients are used up.
