A delicious post-iftar dessert sans the food coma

? At this point in the month, all the desserts are starting to taste the same — but this tropical dish stands out. Voila ’s mango strawberry parfait may not scream Ramadan, but a sweet, light dessert is much needed and much welcomed after a month of heavy, filling desserts.

Taste test: A rich layer of brûlée cream crowns the dessert, offering a caramelized sweetness that perfectly complements the chunks of rich Turkish basbousa encased in a coconut purée. The plate is generously filled — and topped — with fresh strawberries and mangoes, which cut the richness of the rest of the ingredients.

Bonus points for presentation. The vibrant colors and arrangement make it a standout at any gathering. The dessert is served (and visible) in a large, elevated bowl, spotlighting the bright layers of fruit, cream, and basbousa.

WHERE TO FIND IT- You can order the strawberry mango parfait for delivery through Voila’s website, or pick it up at one of their many branches in New Cairo, Sheikh Zayed, Obour, Nasr City, Heliopolis, and Mohandessin.
