I made this tasty dessert using a bag of Mixed, Frozen Berries, and Splenda. The combination of berries included raspberries, blueberries and strawberries, and made a really delicious Parfait. Served up, as you suggested in champagne flutes, it looks too good to eat, but we did anyway; no point in letting all that good fruit go to waste. Thanks again, Pellerin for contributing to a successful dinner, which also included your Perfect Filets Mignon Steaks with Mushrooms #127958.
