Shrek is not just a great movie for keeping kids quiet at parties, it can also serve as culinary inspiration. I discovered that I had a tub of marscapone in the fridge left over from last week's strawberry tart; however, I had no biscuits in the house -- with good reason -- and could therefore not repeat that particular dessert. What to do? Then it struck me: Parfait! Everybody loves parfait, as Donkey so wisely noted. The return of sunshine to Amsterdam also prompted Proustian memories of childhood summers and the joy of cheap raspberry ripple ice-cream -- resulting in this confection.
Vanilla-laced marscapone cream, marbled with crushed raspberries, and layered with home-made granola. Crunchy and creamy and, best of all, there's enough for breakfast tomorrow morning -- something to look forward, and how often can you say
that about Monday mornings?
