Strawberry Lemon Parfaits

Pretty, Simple and Sweet !


Ingredients:
  • 2 cups chopped strawberries
  • 2x 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup double cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • shop bought vanilla cake (pound, madeira or sponge) or biscotti cookies cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup lemon curd
Method:

To make the strawberries: Place the strawberries ans 2 tablespoons sugar in a bowl and mix to combine. Let it sit for 15 minutes at room temperature to let the strawberries macerate and release of their juices.

To make the whipped cream: Using a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together heavy cream, 2 tablespoons sugar and vanilla on high speed until medium peaks form.

Assembly: Place a few cake/cookies pieces at the bottom of the glasses. Spoon a dollop of the lemon curd on top, then the strawberries (with their juices) and then the whipped cream. Repeat the layering once more. For decoration, you can top each glass with fresh strawberry. If not serving immediately, cover and store in the refrigerator for several hours.
