  3. Step 3: In 4 serving glasses, spoon 2 tbsp granola evenly into the bottom of each.
  4. Step 4: Add a layer of the mascarpone and strawberry mixture—about 1/4 cup per glass.
  5. Step 5: Top each with 2-3 reserved strawberry slices and another tablespoon of granola.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp honey evenly over each parfait.
  7. Step 7: Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
