World's Easiest Dessert

I watch a cooking programme called"Arda'nin Mutfagi" (http://www.facebook.com/ardaninmutfagi) every Sunday on Turkish Satellite Channel CNN . Arda is a nice chap with charming personality and he is an accomplished chef. Every Sunday he visits a local market and buys his fresh and interesting ingredients and cooks amazing dishes in his kitchen. This week he came up with the "world's easiest dessert". His version was really the easiest cooked - dessert you can make. But I want to put my own touches so, at least i would be able to say that "I haven't pinched his recipe". The picture belongs to him and if he allows me to use it. I will publish this post.

Arda made his dessert with Pomegranate Jam. I will be using strawberries but you can use any fruit to add your choice of taste.
