I tend to have desserts as a separate “meal”. I just have them as an afternoon snack because I’m quite full after dinner and I don’t crave anything sweet. However, this healthy Black Sesame Plum Yogurt Parfait recipe is an exception because it is very light and fresh, and it’s a very good suggestion even after dinner. 

Ingredients for 4 plum yogurt parfaits:

• 350 g plums
• 200 g yogurt
• 30 g meringues
• 25 g sugar
• 20 g honey
• 5 g black sesame seeds
• 1 cinnamon stick

Preparation:

1. Place 20 g sugar and 1 tbsp. water in a frying pan over high heat. When the water has evaporated a bit, add the black sesame seeds and stir.
2. Pour the substance over a baking parchment sheet and quickly spread it (flatten it out?) with a spoon. Leave it aside until completely cool. 
3. Wash the plums, remove the stones and cut them into tin slices. 
4. Into a small saucepan, pour 6 tablespoons water and the remaining 5 grams of sugar. Add the plum slices and the cinnamon stick, and stew for about 5 minutes.
5. Into a bowl, crumble the meringues into big pieces. Add the yogurt and honey, and stir. 
6. Divide the yogurt into 4 serving bowls.
7. Remove the cinnamon stick, and add the plum slices to the yogurt parfaits.
8. Break the black sesame caramel bark into pieces and decorate the plum yogurt parfaits.

Bon appetit!
