Prepare two tall, clear parfait glasses or small dessert bowls. Begin by spooning a layer of the sweetened berry mixture into the bottom of each glass.

Follow with a layer of the whipped cream, spreading it gently over the berry layer.

Repeat the layering process, alternating between berry mixture and whipped cream, until the glasses are full, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top.
