Oh no, we thought: What do we do with this panettone vis-à-vis our New Year’s resolution to give up the sugar group for January?

Fortunately, Whole Foods Market came to the rescue with this recipe for a yogurt and fruit parfait with cubes of panettone—just a touch. We’re not breaking the resolution—just bending it.

Ingredients

• Natural cooking spray oil
• 3 cups lightly packed cubed panettone (3/4-inch cubes)
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• 4 navel oranges, Satsumas or Clementines, peel and pith removed, cut into segments, juice reserved
• 32 ounces nonfat vanilla yogurt
• 4 sprigs mint

1. Spray-oil a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add panettone cubes and cook, tossing occasionally until just toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside to let cool.
2. Add almonds to skillet and cook, tossing occasionally until toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. NOTE: If you’re in a hurry, you can make the parfait with untoasted panettone and almonds.
3. Drizzle panettone with any juice that collected when you cut the oranges; then layer in four tall glasses or large wine goblets along with the oranges and yogurt.
4. Top with almonds, garnish with mint and serve.
