Ingredients & Substitutions
Mango Pulp - The recipe uses homemade mango pulp. Since the fruit is naturally sweet, I have not added sugar.
How to Make Mango Pulp at home - Wash and peel the mangoes, roughly chop and add it to a blender jar. Do not add any water while blending the mangoes. Mango Pulp can be refrigerated upto a week or frozen up to 6 months.
The recipe is quite versatile and can be made with seasonal fruits like berries, grapes, stone fruits etc. Top it with nuts or dry fruits like walnuts, hazelnuts, cranberries, almonds, pistachios.
Unsweetened Yogurt - I have used homemade yogurt. You can use flavored yogurt like Vanilla or Mango Yogurt. Flavored yogurt may contain sugar. Greek Yogurt is an option.
Vegan Yogurt - I would recommend Coconut Yogurt for this recipe. However, you can use any variety that's easily available in the supermarket.
Granola - Using homemade granola has a lot of benefits, including the fact that its budget friendly. You can bulk up the granola with nuts, seeds and oats.
Store bought granola may contain corn syrup. Always check the list of ingredients on the box, before buying.
You can substitute Granola with Muesli OR you could just add handful of nuts, seeds of your choice or dried fruits.
Sweetener
Mango pulp is naturally sweet and the granola contains some amount of honey. If you prefer the parfait on a sweeter side, you can add extra honey. Honestly, you won't need any.
For Vegan substitutes, use stevia, agave, coconut sugar or maple syrup.
