Strawberries and Cream Parfait
Lovin’ those little fruits in this dessert …
Strawberries and Cream Parfait!
A few weeks ago I posted this recipe that I used from Fresh from Florida but wanted to show it off again and post the recipe again so that if you use Ziplist to keep track of your recipes across the web, you could easily add this one as well. So this post is going to be short and sweet (sweet, get it? … okay, I’ll stop now).

I do really love this dessert. It’s simple to make and can add an elegant touch to any dinner. It’s seriously easy to make and taste lovely. It’s like Strawberry Cheesecake in a glass! Taste like more please.
If you want to make this but Strawberries might be out of season or you just don’t like Strawberries (which I wouldn’t understand), then you can substitute any fresh fruit that is in season.
So get ready to treat your friends and family to an elegant yet, dead easy to make dessert and enjoy!
