Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the heart-shaped pancakes in this parfait?
The instructions say to cut cooked pancakes into hearts using a heart-shaped cookie cutter and use them as a decorative topping — or layer them within the parfait itself for a festive Valentine’s Day touch that sets this recipe apart from a standard yogurt-and-fruit parfait.
Can I swap the berries for other fruits?
Yes — the notes say to feel free to substitute any red fruits you have on hand, such as cherries or red grapes, in place of the strawberries, raspberries, and pomegranate seeds.
