Strawberry Parfait
Cold dessert in a glass with strawberries, whipped cream, ice cream, and sauce
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries (fresh)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup frosted corn flakes
- 2 scoops vanilla or strawberry ice cream
Strawberry Sauce
- 2 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 Tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Make the strawberry sauce. Cook 2 cups of frozen strawberries and sugar in a pot over low heat. Once the strawberries release their juice, increase the heat to medium, cover with a lid, and cook for a few minutes. Break the strawberries apart with a spatula and continue cooking until the mixture slightly thickens. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator before assembling.
- Dice half of the strawberries and halve the rest. Mix diced strawberries with the sauce. Whip the heavy cream with sugar to medium-stiff peaks, and keep it chilled in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Assemble the parfait by taking a clear glass and layering the ingredients. Begin with a base of cornflakes, followed by diced strawberries, a layer of whipped cream, and a scoop of ice cream. If the glass is tall, repeat the layers. Finish by arranging the whipped cream and strawberries neatly on top.
