Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar substitute, plus 2 tablespoons (recommended: Splenda)
1 teaspoon no sugar added vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced (sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar substitute if not sweet)
Fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • With an electric mixer on high, whip the heavy cream in a bowl just until frothy and add in the 1/3 cup sugar substitute and vanilla and continue to whip just a little more to blend; do not whip all the way to soft peaks yet. Put half of the partially whipped mixture into another bowl and finish whipping it on high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, or the cream will break. Set aside the vanilla cream.
  • To the first bowl with the other half of the partially whipped cream mixture, add in the cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons more sugar substitute and finish whipping on high until stiff peaks form, again being careful not to over-whip. This is the chocolate cream.
  • In each of 4 parfait glasses, layer a couple spoonfuls of chocolate cream, followed by some fresh strawberry slices, and top it with a couple spoonfuls of fresh vanilla cream. Chill completely before serving. Garnish with a strawberry fan and sprig of fresh mint.

Categories     dessert

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Hull and quarter 1 quart strawberries. Toss with 1 teaspoon sugar in a large bowl. Sprinkle a layer of gingersnap crumbs or graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of parfait glasses. Top with the berries. Mix 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons honey and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, then spoon over the berries.

Tips:

  • Use fresh berries: Fresh berries are the best choice for this parfait, as they will be the most flavorful and juicy. If you can't find fresh berries, frozen berries will also work, but they may not be as flavorful.
  • Choose a variety of berries: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of berries in your parfait. This will give you a variety of flavors and textures.
  • Layer the parfait carefully: When layering the parfait, start with a layer of berries, then add a layer of yogurt, then another layer of berries, and so on. This will help to keep the parfait from getting too soggy.
  • Don't overfill the parfait glasses: Leave some room at the top of the parfait glasses so that you can add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of granola.
  • Chill the parfaits before serving: This will help to firm them up and make them easier to eat.

Conclusion:

The Very Berry Dreamboat Parfaits are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of berries, yogurt, and toppings to choose from, the possibilities are endless. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack or dessert, give these parfaits a try!
