Description
A light and refreshing Strawberry Cream Parfait layered with sweetened whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and crunchy graham cracker crumbs perfect for an easy dessert or snack.
Ingredients
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
2. In a separate bowl, toss the chopped strawberries with granulated sugar and let them sit for 5–10 minutes to release juices.
3. Spoon a layer of whipped cream into the bottom of serving glasses.
4. Add a layer of graham cracker crumbs, followed by a spoonful of strawberries.
5. Repeat layers until the glasses are full, finishing with whipped cream and a few strawberry slices on top.
6. Garnish with mint leaves if desired and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, drizzle a little strawberry syrup or melted white chocolate between layers.
Use vanilla Greek yogurt instead of whipped cream for a lighter option.
Perfect make-ahead dessert — just assemble and refrigerate until ready to serve.
