Prunes and Mascarpone Parfait
By: Eve Martel (@evemartel)
California Prunes are the spotlight in this gourmet parfait! Chopped in the mascarpone, the prunes allow for a sweet velvety dessert. Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, prunes also provide us with 3g of fiber per serving of 4-5 prunes.
Whether whole, mashed or sliced, they are super versatile in morning oatmeal or salads. It’s one of my dad’s favourite foods so I’ve been eating prunes since I was little!
They are also inexpensive and keep for a very long time stored in an airtight container.
