i absolutely without a doubt love my backyard...it's just such a beautiful place to be, especially in the summer, when flowers are blooming and gardens are flourishing...birds are chirping...and butterflies dance and play...i call it my very own secret garden...
so friends...come in...take a load off...enjoy the beauty...and have a tropical berry chocolate coconut summer delight...
mango jackfruit pudding (used jackfruit in place of pineapple)
dark chocolate pudding
fluffy black raspberry cream
coconut vanilla crunch granola
fresh black raspberries
dark chocolate pieces for garnish and dipping
allow me to tell you the story of this magical creation...and how it came to be...
i fell in love with jackfruit...and now i'm addicted...i have dreams of frolicking in fields of flowers with a bag full of jackfruit...
as you all may now know, i adore chocolate...chocolate is my heart and soul...and a dear friend of mine mentioned that dried jackfruit dipped in chocolate is heavenly...so my brain started working in overdrive...
i also have so many tiny beautiful black raspberries in my very lovely secret garden that i decided to create something as beautiful and magical as my favourite place...and share it with all of you...
the table is set...the eve is young...
so friends...take a seat...have a treat...from nelly, with so much love...
Awesome! I love it. What a great variety of flavours and layers. You made me crave your backyard as much as your parfait - the combination must have been blissful.

ReplyDeleteLots of my favorite flavors in there. Great work and beautiful presentation.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try jackfruit, I didn't see it at the Asian market here. I think it would be good in a moon pie. I actually wanted to make a moon pie with one because I knew Heather liked it. :-)
Hope you are well and hugs to Jackson!!!

You are so stinkin cute I can't stand it! And the parfait only matches that cuteness. It's lovely nelly - it really is. And I heart jackfruit too!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my GOODNESS! That parfait looks absolutely delightful. I can't even begin to explain how happy it makes me to read posts like this one. Healthy, beautiful food, shared and eaten with love... This is how it should always be. I found your blog via Heathy's, and I'm curious as to whether you post any recipes? I'd love this one, if you're willing!!
ReplyDelete:)
hi patricia...thanks so much for your beautiful comment...i would love to give you the recipe...unfortunately i can't! if you have heathy's parfait ebook...you can make this parfait by subbing jackfruit for the pineapple in the pineapple mango pudding recipe. i also used the recipe for the raspeberry creme pudding and the dark chocolate pudding...vanilla coconut crunch granola and dark chocolate pieces!!!
ReplyDeletehope that helps!!
=)
