Quick & Healthy Knickerbocker Glory
This recipe takes me straight back to my catering college days in Portrush, Co. Antrim, N.Ireland - just hanging out with college pals in cosy little cafés, spoon in hand, daydreaming about all the adventures that ahead of me and that everything was possible. This quick, healthy spin on a Knickerbocker Glory is a far cry from the E-number-laden versions I joyfully gobbled back then, but it brings a little of that old magic back with its fresh flavours and bright, feel-good vibes. Oh to be 18 again.This recipe was created for Positive Life Magazine

Maggie's Tips
- When berries are out of season, frozen berries work just as well - just let them thaw and taste first as they can be a little more tart. Add a little honey or syrup to sweeten if needed.
- Don’t get caught up with the weights and ingredients - play around with what you have!
- Dairy Free/Vegan Option: Use dairy free yoghurt
