Notes
These parfaits are best enjoyed fresh. If storing, keep the ingredients separate to retain the texture of the waffle bowls.
Feel free to swap out the fruits based on what you have on hand or your kids’ preferences! You can use apples, peaches, or even canned fruits for variety. For a healthier twist, opt for low-fat yogurt or Greek yogurt.
The waffle bowls can be made from scratch or store-bought, which makes this recipe even quicker to prepare. To store leftover parfaits, keep the ingredients separate until ready to serve to maintain the texture of the waffle bowl.
