Its an absolute privilege to post on Carolyn’s blog today. A master baker and a prolific cook, her blog is just drool inducing. She manages to effortlessly whip up everything from a Broccoli Cheese Soup to a Boston Cream Pie. Off late, Carolyn has been concentrating on a lot of gluten-free and low calorie desserts. I honestly thought of baking a low cal dessert but I changed my mind and got you this treat instead.
A self-imposed tradition in my house is to make Strawberry Mascarpone Whip Parfaits as soon as berries are in season. And so over the last couple of months I did make them a few times over. However, I had a change of heart and decided to shoot from the hip and take a chance this time around when I saw a whole basket of sweet smelling glistening; fresh and juicy mangoes.
While mangoes and the mascarpone whip pair perfectly, I wanted to add some berries which would make it more vibrant, colorful and be complimenting the gooey brownies.
You could set this parfait in any way you like. Be it a glass, small take away cups so you can sneak it into work or a large trifle bowl to serve a crowd.

Happy Baking!
What gorgeous, vibrant colors! I’ll bet it tastes great too! Mangos are in season now … yesssss!
brownies, mascarpone, mangoes and berries… oooh…u are really turning it on out here!! I do have a question.. where do you get raspberries or any other berries in bombay????
Thanks! You could get raspberries and blueberries at nature’s basket. :)
Yummy! I’ve never thought to add mangoes to a parfait. Great recipe!
ooh, this looks wonderful + i love the combo of mango + raspberry. off to check out the recipe!
I love parfaits, and if they are made with mascarpone thats even better!! I am such a big mango fan, I buy it in bulk and always have some in my frindge and counter! I love that you added brownies, they make everything taste a 1000 time better!
A fruit parfait is something that everyone does seem to enjoy! Lovely choice of fruits and the marscapone is better than whipped cream-yum! Nice addition of some rich chocolate flavor in the brownies as well.
Gorgeous parfait! I love the combination of mango and fudge brownies here! So delicious!
I love the dark background that makes the colors pop out more. This is something worth trying this fruity season…Yummy!
I am drooling for this parfait!
Ohhh…this dessert looks so pretty, perfect for a special dinner…!!!

I already saw this on Carolyn’s blog. Love it!
Oh, this looks amazing!! I love desserts when the beauty equals the taste…well done!
These days I am on parfait every other days … for breakfast .. for dessert but with yogurt. LOVE your version with mascarpone!
This would have been amazing with just the mangoes and parfait but the addition of the brownies are genius! The flavors and layering are so visual — I bet this would work well for using plain yogurt too.
Such a fantastic combo of the fruits in the parfait. Especially with the mascarpone… heavenly!
This sounds fantabulous and looks beautiful! That mascarpone is a perfect match for the lighter sweet fruit! Love it!
Love it! Creamy and fruity – great low cal option.
I love this parfait! So pretty and filled with great flavors!
What a fun, summer treat! I love mixing different fruit together, I love the idea of putting raspberry and mango together:-) Hugs, Terra
