Mixed Berry Parfait
A delicious, no bake mixed berry parfait using a mix of organic vanilla bean yoghurt, cream cheese, cream and fresh berries! Makes 4 - 6 servings depending on glass size. The Arnott's Monte Carlo biscuits go delightfully with this parfait, I also used Madagascan Vanilla Bean 'Extra Silky' White Chocolate by Lindt, and Five:am Organic Vanilla Bean Yoghurt. My recipe consisted of 1/2 of the ingredients listed and made 3 of the med to large tumblers pictured.

Ingredients
- 500 grams Strawberries
- 250 grams Raspberries
- 250 grams Blueberries
- 150 g Mixed Berry Syrup or Puree
- 340 grams Organic Vanilla Bean Yoghurt
- 250 grams Philadelphia light Cream Cheese
- 600 grams Thickened Cream

- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Essence
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin

Instructions
- Crush biscuits in blender / food processor. Melting the 50 grams
- Add butter to the biscuit mixture and blend, it should take on the consistency of wet sand.
- Add the biscuit mix evenly to the tumbler glasses and press down. (I used a handy honey dripper for this!). Then refrigerate.
- Chop the mixed berries and keep refrigerated.
- Melt the Cream Cheese, either in a bowl over boiling water, or in short 10 second bursts on a low setting in a microwave. It just needs to be softened to a thick cream consistency, so don't 'over melt'.
- Whip the thickened cream, sugar and vanilla essence until peaks form.
- Add the cream cheese, vanilla yoghurt and the gelatin pre mixed earlier with the tablespoon of boiling water.and whip / fold through until an even mixture is formed.
- Set the glasses out and spoon in the cream mix followed by a berry layer and drizzle with puree / syrup then sprinkling with some vanilla bean white chocolate shavings.
- Continue to fill each glass with the layer of berries, puree / syrup and cream then garnish with sliced strawberries and shaved white chocolate.
- Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
