Parfait with fresh berries and sweet cream cheese

Plan to invite a lot of friends? Celebrate the birthday and not know what to cook for dessert instead of the traditional cake? Want a delicious dessert, but one that is "easier" and "healthier"? Then meet with parfait.

Parfait (or trifle) – my secret dessert on those occasions when you need to cook dessert for a large number of people, to spend a minimum of time, but at the same time impress with taste and presentation.

Parfait is a layered dessert. Its membership usually includes cream or pudding, fruit, and sometimes even a biscuit or shortbread dough. The parfait lots of variations – experiment with fillings, experiment with fruits, look for one that suits you. Submit parfait can in portion cups, and in one large glass form – in any event, the dessert will look amazing.





Today I offer you a basic recipe for parfait with summer berries and cream cheese. Berries for a parfait, you can use any, but because of the sugar in the dessert at least, choose those that are sweeter and more aromatic. Combination of raspberry-strawberry-blueberry, I liked the strawberry parfait, but is also well suited to a sweet peach or nectarine.

To prepare the parfait very quickly, however, to make the dessert well stuck, its nice to hold in the refrigerator for at least a few hours. To prepare the parfait for a day before serving.
