Delicious Spring Dessert with Honey Lemon Raspberries with Frozen Yogurt Parfait.

Raspberry is a spring fruit and it's widely available during this time of the year and tastes great when they are in season. As I wanted to create a spring dessert I thought, Raspberry and yogurt might be a good idea. So I started building all the components to go with it. They are Vanilla sponge cake, pistachio and yogurt frozen parfait. fresh raspberries with honey and lemon with some raspberry sauce. I think you can imagine how all these ingredients taste together. It tasted wonderful and the presentation came out quite well too.
