What Exactly Is A Parfait?
It’s a flavored custard made with whipped cream and syrup that is frozen without stirring. A cold dessert made of layers of fruit, syrup, ice cream, and whipped cream.
What Ingredients Go into A Strawberry Parfait?
Fresh strawberries, ricotta cheese, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, liquid stevia, and almonds are required to make homemade Strawberry Parfaits.
Variations:
- Replace the strawberries with chopped peaches or nectarines. Blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries also work well, but if you want them to be juicy, mash a few berries with the sugar to draw out the liquid.
- We like how the liquid stevia sweetens the berries, but you can skip this step and substitute a sweeter-flavored yogurt instead.
- Don’t leave out the granola; it adds great texture to these strawberry parfaits! You can use your favorite store-bought flaxseed granola or make your own.
- For this parfait, use 2% or full-fat plain Greek yogurt. It has a much richer flavor and a perfect consistency for whipping with honey without being too watery.
Top Tips:
- Before hulling strawberries, always wash them. If you wash them afterward, the water will penetrate the center of the fruit and soften it.
- For the best results, assemble the parfaits just before serving because the liquid from the strawberries will bleed into the cheese mixture. It looks best if layered right before serving.
