Neapolitan Parfaits
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
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
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.

Parfait means "Perfect" in French.

Parfait! Everybody like parfait! That's my favorite scene in Shrek, all grown up and still loooove animated movies. Anyways! Parfait's are really easy, all you really need is yogurt, granola and some kind of fruit. My favorite is strawberry yogurt, cinnamon flavored granola clusters and raspberries. Yum! Use your imagination and enjoy!

It is so funny to me how snobby cooks have renamed an aussie classic, what we always called trifle is now called parfait. All aussies have a different recipe, and if you ask them, theirs is always the best lol. All it is, is cake, custard, jelly, some kind of fruit, whipped cream and either juice or alcohol drizzled over it. It is totally bendable to whatever you desire.

use heavy whipping cream to make whipped cream. put fresh fruit that has been sliced (I use peaches) in bottom of parfait glass, then add a layer of granola (kellogs sells an excellent granola cereal) then some whipped cream. continue layering until glass is full.
