How to Make Strawberry Mascarpone Parfaits
Mascarpone is a soft Italian cream cheese. It is so creamy and smooth that only a small bit of it is needed to add depth and character to an otherwise ordinary recipe. These parfaits are healthy enough to be served with breakfast, or decadent enough for dessert, and they can be made in only a few minutes. Save this recipe for spring and summer, when strawberries are at their peak.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Place 1 cup strawberries, mascarpone, sugar, flaxseed, and cinnamon in a blender, and whip until light.
-
Stir in yogurt. Pour 1/3 cup of mixture into each of 6 clear parfait glasses. Top with 1 layer of remaining strawberry slices (reserving 6 for garnish).
-
Scatter 1 Tbsp granola on top of the strawberry slices in each glass, then top each glass with another layer of remaining strawberry mixture. Add another layer of 1 Tbsp granola on top of the strawberry mixture in each glass.
-
Garnish each glass with 1 remaining strawberry slice. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to a maximum of overnight before serving.
