Layered Vanilla Cinnamon Cream of Wheat Parfait with Berries ingredients
- 1/2 cup uncooked cream of wheat
- 1.5 cups rice milk
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries
- 1/2 cup granola
How to make Layered Vanilla Cinnamon Cream of Wheat Parfait with Berries
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1.5 cups rice milk, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup uncooked cream of wheat, ensuring there are no lumps. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, until the mixture has thickened considerably.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. The cream of wheat should be thick but still pourable.
- Pour the hot cream of wheat into a shallow dish or two separate bowls. Cover loosely with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and let it cool at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once slightly cooled, transfer the cream of wheat to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until completely cold and firm enough to layer. This can be prepared the night before.
- To assemble the parfaits, spoon a layer of the chilled vanilla cinnamon cream of wheat into the bottom of two clear serving glasses or jars.
- Top the cream of wheat layer with a handful of fresh mixed berries, about half of the 1 cup total, spreading them evenly.
- If using, sprinkle a layer of 1/4 cup granola over the berries for added crunch and texture.
- Repeat the layers: add another scoop of cream of wheat, followed by the remaining fresh berries, and then the rest of the granola (if using).
- Serve the parfaits immediately or keep them refrigerated until ready to enjoy. These are best eaten within a few hours of assembly for optimal freshness of berries and crunch of granola.
