Neapolitan Parfaits
These Neapolitan Parfaits have all the classic neapolitan flavors you love but with yogurt. I made these for my church’s Easter brunch. I have been organizing and making the food for the brunch since 2007. Every year I try to bring something new to the table. This year I decided to make these Neapolitan Parfaits. I am so glad I did. These also make a great mid afternoon or after school snack.
These parfaits are so much fun to look at and even better to eat. The first issue I had to address was chocolate yogurt. It may be out there but I’ve never seen it. The solution? I added chocolate syrup and unsweetened cocoa to plain yogurt and got a rich creamy chocolate yogurt. I had no problem finding strawberry and vanilla flavored yogurts. The good news? Now you can have your favorite ice cream flavors for breakfast!

Thank you so much for all your great tips. What a great idea. Will have to cut the recipe down for just my husband and I but sure looks good. !
These look so good and everything tastes better in individual servings!
Such a great idea! I have seen chocolate yogurt (Stonyfield Farms, maybe?), but I bet your version is way better.
These are such a great idea! I love flavoring yogurt — it’s so fun to come up with special desserts and so easy. The layers of neapolitan flavors sound just lovely!
Do you have any idea how many serving that amt of yogurt is for? Also I need to just make for 2 people. Thank you, Sure looks good.
Hi Diana, The recipe states it makes 24 small parfaits.
What a delicious breakfast idea! I need to try this ASAP. 🙂
We have chocolate yogurt in South Africa. The colour is not as brown as this in your recipe, but there are little chocolate pieces in the yogurt.
