Deliciciousness -- that's what my daughter calls this super easy (so easy it's like cheating!) summer dessert. I love these strawberry parfaits in warm weather. Even though spring doesn't officially arrive until tomorrow, I've already made parfaits this season.
Cheat-y Strawberry Parfait
Store-bought pound cake (I use Sara Lee)
Strawberries, washed, capped and cored -- approximately 3-4 average sized berries per serving
8 ounces vanilla yogurt (per 3-4 servings)
Whipped cream
To make:
Slice pound cake into 1/2-inch slices, one slice per serving. Cute each slice into eight cubes. Place four cake cubes into each individual serving container. Cut strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on size of berries. Place a few berries on cake. Top with a spoonful of yogurt. Repeat layers. Top with whipped cream.
It just couldn't be any easier. You can adjust the amounts of berries and yogurt to suit your own tastes, switch up the flavors by using raspberries, or whatever you like. Fast, easy, and delicious. How can you beat that?

I love your parfait glasses and I must get some for when I cook desserts like this. Your parfaits look delicious and inviting and full of wonderful ingredients. xx
ReplyDeleteYum! I love Sara Lee pound cake. It is the best. We use it when we do fondue.
ReplyDeleteI love strawberry shortcake! And I love that you put them in those great glasses!
ReplyDeleteThe second I popped in I was hungry. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! This is perfect for my husband - he'll love it!!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! Can't wait for strawberries at the farmer's market!
ReplyDeleteOh I love strawberry shortcake. I have to dump a load of sugar on my sliced berries and let them sit for hours though to bring the juice out....then I steal all the juice for myself....no wonder I am twice divorced!
ReplyDeleteOh that looks yummy! I love them in the glasses too!

ReplyDeleteThis looks so incredible. I LOVE Sara Lee pound cake. When my kids were still home I would slice it, toast it and serve it with ice cream and chocolate syrup. It was so quick and easy. I'm definitely pinning this one!
