Try Martha Stewart's sweet spin on the breakfast parfait with this pie recipe.

Inspired by a beloved breakfast treat — yogurt parfait — this recipe borrows the main components (granola, yogurt and fruit) and transforms them into a delicious dessert. The pie is not too sweet, but you can adjust it to your preference by drizzling as much honey as you like.

 

Ingredients

For the crust

• 1-1/2 cups plain granola
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the filling

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the topping

• 5 ounces (1 cup) blueberries, picked over
• Mild honey, such as acacia

Directions

1 Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a food processor, pulse 1 cup granola with the sugar and cinnamon until fine crumbs form. Drizzle in butter and process until combined. Add remaining 1/2 cup granola and process until combined but mixture is still crumbly.

2 Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate and press mixture evenly into bottom and up sides. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Bake until crust is golden and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

3 Make the filling: Place yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a medium bowl; let drain at least 30 minutes. Discard liquid.

4 With an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat cream cheese until very smooth. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until smooth. Add strained yogurt, and beat on low speed until smooth.

5 Pour filling into prepared crust and refrigerate until set, 6 hours or up to 1 day. Just before serving, arrange blueberries on top, drizzle with honey and cut into wedges.

Makes one 9-inch pie.
