Ingredients
  • 1 cup Multi-Grain Cereal
  • 1/2 cup Mascarpone Cheese
  • 1 cup Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 3-4 Mint Leaves (for garnish)

Make the Berry Compote

In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Simmer for another 3 minutes, allowing the compote to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assemble the Parfait

In a glass or parfait dish, layer the multi-grain cereal, mascarpone cheese, and berry compote. Repeat layers until the glass is filled.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately or chill for later. The longer it sits, the softer the cereal will become.
