Yogurt Parfait Calculator
Yogurt parfait yogurt, granola, and berries for crowds.
What it does
Parfaits layer by ratios. Yogurt leads with granola and berries following per cup.
The tool above scales the glasses. Twelve guests need 9 cups of yogurt with 4.5 cups of granola and 1.4 pints of berries. The metric match is 2129 ml with 540 g.
Yogurt runs three quarter cups each. Granola halves the yogurt while berries run fifteen hundredths pints per cup.
Clear cups show layers. Double layers look generous with berries crowning tops.
Build near serving. Granola softens sitting, so crunch needs last minute assembly.
