Banana and Berry Parfait

From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com. For an Asian flair, use canned and drained lychee fruit.

1 cup yogurt, strained several hours
2 bananas
1/4 cup maple or date syrup, or more to your taste
1 teaspoon lemon juice

fresh raspberries
fresh blueberries
fresh strawberries, sliced

2-3 tablespoons crushed toffee candies, optional of course

Place the yogurt in a yogurt strainer over a bowl and allow to stand several hours in refrigerator to drain away most of the liquids. Discard liquid. Whirl the yogurt, bananas, maple syrup and lemon juice in a blender or food processor to make a fluffy puree. Arrange the yogurt mixture alternately with the berries in beautiful parfait or other stemmed glasses. Serve immediately. Top with the crushed toffee candies.
