Blackberry Parfait
Dulce de ZarzamoraPolanco is a beautiful zone in Mexico City, with mansions, fine restaurants, lots of great shops, and a wonderful open-air market with colorful, abundant produce and other food items. My husband and I love to stroll by all the vendors, and this recipe is a result of admiring baskets of luscious fresh blackberries that were in season during one of our trips.
