Blend half of the cream with some strawberries and the remaining cream 

with some pineapple. Add as many berries as you wish to make a delicious 

berry cream.

Then the fun begins:

fresh strawberries, and continue with cream and berry layers until the glass

Serving Suggestions

This parfait tastes wonderful served fresh and cool.

*It is best to make the parfait an hour ahead and let set it in the fridge. 

That makes a perfect delight, especially on warm summer days :-) 

*This treat is also suited wonderfully with other berries like raspberries 

and morello.
