Wild Berry Parfait with Mascarpone and Vanilla is about as refreshing as you can get.
Use fresh fruit if you can, but even frozen (thawed) will work in a pinch. Make these in Ball or Mason jars, tighten up the lids, and bring to a picnic or brunch or the park. Fantastic…and comes together in a snap!
WILD BERRY PARFAIT IS EASY TO PREPARE
This delectable dessert is a snap to make.
You can easily prepare all the elements well in advance of serving.
The combination blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries is the perfect combination. Add in honey and orange juice, and the taste is through-the-roof delicious.
MASCARPONE CHEESE IS A PERFECT ADDITION
Mascarpone cheese is one of our favorite additions to so many recipes. It is a creamy Italian cheese that works beautifully in many types of dishes, especially desserts like tiramisu.
The mascarpone is the ideal complement to the slightly tart, yet subtly sweet fruit in this delicious Wild Berry Parfait.
EXPERT TIP: Mascarpone cheese can be found in the specialty cheese section of most well-stocked supermarkets. If you can’t find it, you can substitute by blending in 1/4 cup of sour cream and 1/4 cup to 1 lb. of softened cream cheese.
We just can’t rave enough about this delicious wild berry concoction. If you’re looking for another layered fruit recipe, check out our Banana Pudding Trifle or our Summer Fruit Salad.
