Steps:
- Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan over a low heat until sugar has completely dissolved.
- Bring to a boil, then boil rapidly for 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks in a bowl with a hand-held electric mixer for 3 minutes or until pale and mousse-like.
- Slowly add boiling syrup to yolks, whisking constantly, and continue to whisk for 5 minutes or until mixture is very thick and about 3 times its original volume.
- Crush strawberries with a fork to a coarse puree in a bowl.
- Slit open vanilla pods and scrape seeds into another bowl.
- Add cream and whisk until it forms soft peaks, then gently fold into egg mixture, followed by crushed strawberries.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy strawberries: This will ensure that your parfait has the best flavor.
- Hull the strawberries before slicing them: This will remove the stems and make it easier to slice the berries evenly.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the strawberries: This will help you get clean, even slices.
- Layer the parfait ingredients in a parfait glass or jar: Start with a layer of yogurt, then add a layer of strawberries, and so on. Repeat until the glass is full.
- Top the parfait with whipped cream or a dollop of yogurt: This will add a touch of sweetness and creaminess.
- Serve the parfait immediately or chill it for later: If you are chilling the parfait, be sure to cover it with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
