August has gone fast and spring is coming! I've just got in time to post this parfait recipe to ANU's August Event - Berries - Strawberry Dessert. Strawberry is not only a tasty fruit with lovely colour, it also has lots of health benefits such as high in anti-oxidents, regulate blood sugar level and cleansing skin. However you need to consume 3-4 times a week to get the benefit. For more information on strawberry, please click here. This is a simple and fast dessert, hope you enjoy it!
Strawberry and Butternut Cookies Parfait

200g low-fat plain yoghurt
1 passionfruit (optional)
butternut snap cookies
mint leaves (for garnishing)
Method:
- Combine mascarpone, yoghurt, icing sugar and passionfruit pulp in a bowl and mix well.
- Place strawberries into the glass, then top with a layer of cheese-yohurt mixture. Break some cookies over it. Repeat layers and ended with strawberries on top and garnish with mint.

Hi Veronica-I would like to thank you for offering to send me the canned passion fruit. That is so sweet of you! I really appreciate it, but please don't go out of your way to do so! I will check with my local produce market to see if they can get the fresh, and come to think of it, I do see it from time-to-time at Wholefoods Market, here, locally.
