# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They come together in 15 minutes flat, no baking required, which means you can make them while your coffee is still hot.
  • Everyone feels fancy eating from a shot glass, even though you're basically layering three ingredients.
  • The contrast between creamy, fruity, and crunchy hits all your texture cravings at once in one perfect spoonful.
02 -
  • Granola softens faster than you'd expect in a cold, moist environment, so assemble these as close to serving time as possible if you want that textural contrast to hold.
  • If you're prepping ahead, keep the yogurt, strawberries, and granola separate and layer them only when guests are about to eat—it's worth the extra 2 minutes.
03 -
  • Toast your granola in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes before assembling if it's been sitting in the pantry for a while—it brings back the crunch and makes the whole dessert better.
  • A tiny sprinkle of lemon zest over the strawberries before maceration adds a brightness that guests can't quite identify but absolutely love.
