Fresh From Florida Strawberry Cream Parfait

February 25, 2014 Leave a Comment

288 shares

 Today I am excited to feature one of my favorite fruits: Strawberries!
I have teamed up with Fresh from Florida to promote local seasonal Florida produce. One of the great things about living in Florida is the availability
of fresh seasonal produce. I am Florida born and raised and I have fond memories of picking berries with my parents at local farms and visiting farmer’s markets…all year long!
 In February, when everyone in the country (sorry guys!)
is suffering through snowstorms and freezing temperatures, Florida is celebrating Strawberry Season! They even have a Strawberry Fest in Plant City every Feb-March (I’ve been and it was both delicious and entertaining!).

Enjoying one of my many Strawberry snacks at The Strawberry Festival: Strawberry Shortcake!

Beautiful Florida Strawberries!
Rinse and slice your berries.
Make your cream filling: whipped cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla yogurt.
Crush 4 graham crackers. I like to do this by hand 
so they aren’t too small and still have some texture and crunch.
Assemble your parfaits by layering cream, strawberries, and graham crackers until you have filled your glass.
Then top with more berries and a sprig of mint. Serve chilled.
I made cute strawberry hearts to garnish the top of my parfaits!
Comment below and tell me your favorite recipe featuring Fresh from Florida Strawberries!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
