For a healthy sweet treat, this parfait is low-key and quick to prepare and makes for a refreshing finish to a meal.

I have discovered frozen, free-flow mango, which, if you have it in the freezer, makes a tasty alternative to strawberries and creme fraiche. With berries coming into season this is a great dessert to have up your sleeve. Serve it in a glass, instead of a bowl, for a fancier feel.

1 punnet strawberries, cut into pieces

Zest and juice of 1 lime

  1. Into a large bowl place the mango, strawberries and lime. Combine well and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
