How to make Greek yogurt candy corn fruit cups
- Prep the fruit – Drain the canned crushed pineapple and mandarin oranges well to avoid excess liquid in the parfaits.
- Flavor the yogurt – In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract until smooth and lightly sweetened. Taste and adjust honey if needed.
- Layer the pineapple – Add a generous layer of crushed pineapple to the bottom of clear glasses or cups. This creates the yellow “candy corn” layer.
- Add the mandarin oranges – Spoon mandarin slices on top of the pineapple to form the orange layer. Lightly press them down so the layers stay distinct.
- Top with yogurt – Finish with a thick layer of the vanilla-honey Greek yogurt on top to mimic the white tip of candy corn.
- Serve and enjoy – Serve immediately or chill in the fridge until ready to eat.
Tips from my kitchen
- Use clear glasses or jars so the candy corn colors really stand out.
- Drain fruit well to prevent watery layers. You can even pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey based on your preference.
- Make ahead – Assemble up to a few hours in advance and refrigerate. Add the yogurt layer just before serving for the best texture.
- Change it up – Use vanilla Greek yogurt and skip the flavoring step, or add a sprinkle of granola or coconut on top for crunch.
- Smaller portions – Serve in mini cups or shot glasses for a party-friendly option.
