Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 240 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 grams Graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Reserve 4 whole strawberries for garnish, then dice the rest into small pieces.
In a bowl, combine the diced strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Place the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until evenly coated.
Assemble the parfaits: In individual serving glasses, layer 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture at the bottom, followed by a layer of whipped cream, a layer of macerated strawberries, and another layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Garnish each parfait with a reserved whole strawberry and a mint leaf (optional).
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy the Strawberry Delight Parfait cold!
