If you're looking for a quick and easy summer dessert, try these simple summer parfaits, which look attractive when layered in clear glasses or dessert bowls.

Cook Time: 10 minutes

  • 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
  • 2 cups of fresh mixed berries, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups fat-free whipped topping
  • Berries for garnish
