# Nutty Fig Yogurts This Unusual Parfait Recipe is Gluten and Dairy-Free for Those with Allergies By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-08-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parfait-recipe References: [tasty-yummies](http://tasty-yummies.com/2015/08/05/honey-balsamic-roasted-fig-and-toasted-pistachio-coconut-yogurt-parfaits/) Most [yogurt parfaits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noosa-mixins) you'll come across are pretty standard, but this parfait recipe is truly in a league of its own. Made by Beth from the food blog Tasty Yummies, the Honey Balsamic-Roasted Figs and Toasted Pistachio Coconut Yogurt Parfaits unusually incorporate figs, which are currently in season. The figs' tart, syrupy and sweet flavor pairs perfectly with tangy and creamy yogurt. The toasted pistachios are a great touch, but you can also substitute for your favorite nut or seed if the pistachio isn't your thing. The parfait recipe includes homemade [coconut milk yogurt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/probiotic-coconut-yogurts), although goat milk or [greek yogurt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unsweetened-plain-greek-style-yogurt) would also work. Balsamic vinegar, honey and lemon zest round the dish out. Whether you go for breakfast, dessert or a snack any time, you cannot go wrong. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gluten and Dairy-free Parfaits:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new variations of parfait recipes that cater to consumers with dietary restrictions, such as gluten and dairy-free options. - **Seasonal and Unique Ingredients:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of unusual and in-season ingredients, like figs, to create innovative and intriguing flavor combinations in food products. - **Homemade Yogurt Alternatives:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop alternative yogurt options, such as homemade coconut milk yogurt, to cater to consumers looking for non-dairy alternatives. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new product lines of gluten and dairy-free parfaits to cater to the growing demand for allergen-friendly options in the food and beverage industry. - **Specialty Food:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of unique and seasonal ingredients, like figs, in specialty foods to appeal to consumers seeking new and exciting flavors. - **Dairy Alternatives:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and market homemade yogurt alternatives, like coconut milk yogurt, to tap into the growing demand for non-dairy, plant-based products in the dairy alternatives industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creamy Pistachio Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pistachio-creme-yogurt.md) - [Apple Pie Parfaits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-pie-parfait.md) - [Fruity Cake-Flavored Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-flavored-yogurt.md) - [Fungi-Based Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fungi-based-yogurt.md) - [Upcycled Plant-Powered Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-yogurt-alternative.md) - [Convenient Protein Breakfast Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apricot-fig-breakfast-bar.md) - [Caramelized Fig Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramelized-fig.md) - [Probiotic Dairy-Free Yogurt Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/probiotic-yogurt-alternative.md) - [Dessert-Like Probiotic Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-cream-pie.md)
