Ginger makes it

Ginger built this one on purpose: yogurt, fruit, a little crunch, a little chocolate. No oven, no stove, and one very enthusiastic taste-tester.

Lovely matches it

Chocolate, strawberries and hearts, all in one glass. Lovely calls the whole arrangement a love triangle. It is not a love triangle.

Lovely's tip

DON'T BE HALF-HEARTED — CUT YOUR STRAWBERRIES IN HALF!

GINGER WINS THIS ROUND

IT'S A BALANCED MATCH! Lovely demands a recount.

From Ginger's pantry

You'll need

  • 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups strawberries
  • About 2 tablespoons chocolate chips or shaved chocolate
  • Optional: granola or chopped nuts
  • Optional: hemp hearts

Use what you've got

  • Don't have hemp hearts? No problem — use what you've got. The parfait is still perfectly Lovely without them.

Aprons on

Let's make it

  1. Slice the strawberries lengthwise so each half shows its natural heart shape. A grown-up handles or supervises the knife.

  2. Layer yogurt and strawberry hearts in a glass or bowl, then repeat.

  3. Add granola or chopped nuts if you'd like some crunch.

  4. Finish with a sprinkle of hemp hearts and a little shaved chocolate, if you have it.

Cooking options

🥣 No Cooking Needed

No oven and no stove — everything is layered cold in a glass.

Twin talk

  • Ginger: “Technically, cutting them in half makes them more half-hearted.”
  • Lovely: “No, Ginger. It makes TWO hearts.”
  • Ginger: “…I'm not arguing with that math.”
  • Lovely: “Good. I have idears.”
  • Lovely: “Ginger! I found HEARTS!”
  • Ginger: “Those are hemp hearts.”
  • Lovely: “Exactly. Hearts.”
  • Ginger: “They're seeds.”
  • Lovely: “They're called hearts, Ginger. Don't argue with the package.”
  • Lovely: “Chocolate + strawberries + hearts? That's not just a match. That's a LOVE TRIANGLE!”
  • Ginger: “That's really not what a love triangle means.”
  • Lovely: “Isn't that… Lovely?”

Contains: Milk. Always check the labels on your own ingredients with a grown-up.
