Leftover Cranberry Sauce Parfait

December 27, 2022

Leftover Cranberry Sauce Parfait
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Layers of yogurt, fruit sauce, and homemade granola make up this gorgeous fruity parfait using leftover Cranberry Sauce.

If you’re looking for a way to use up leftover cranberry sauce from the holidays, this is the way to do it! Cranberry sauce is essentially a jam. So, it can actually be used in a variety of delicious ways in many different recipes from breakfast to dinner to dessert.

Do not let your cranberry sauce go to waste, especially if you’ve made a big batch of my gorgeous Vegan Cherry Cranberry Sauce!

You won’t believe how divine this parfait using cranberry sauce is. The tarty freshness of the fruit-packed cranberry sauce mixes beautifully with the creamy yogurt and crunchy granola.

If you don’t have any leftover cranberry sauce, it is totally worth making a fresh batch especially for this parfait. Trust me, my Vegan Cherry Cranberry Sauce is the highlight of this parfait and tastes worlds better than a store bought jam. This recipe does not taste like leftovers! It is a luxurious parfait with complex flavours that pair together so well.
