Directions
The night before (or up to three days ahead),
make yogurt cheese. Place two paper cone
coffee filters over two large mugs or small
bowls. Put 2 cups of yogurt into each filter
and place both in the refrigerator overnight.
The liquid will drain out, leaving approximately
1 cup of thick yogurt cheese in each. Discard
the liquid. Combine ½ cup of the yogurt
cheese, honey, and vanilla in a bowl. Mix
thoroughly with a whisk. Add the remaining
yogurt cheese and mix until combined.
In each of four parfait glasses or large
wineglasses, alternate layers of yogurt cheese
and berries, starting and ending with yogurt
cheese. Serve immediately, or cover and chill
up to 4 hours. Before serving, garnish each
parfait with 2 gingersnap cookies.
