Fresh From Florida Strawberry Cream Parfait

February 25, 2014 Leave a Comment

 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!
 Today I am sharing this Florida Strawberry Cream Parfait recipe with you. Sweet, fresh berries, crunchy graham crackers, and soft pillowy cream make up this simple and delicious dessert!

Prep time:10 minutes
  • 2 cups fresh Florida strawberries, rinsed, hulled, and sliced

  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 4 sprigs fresh mint, for garnish (optional)

Recipe from Fresh from Florida
 
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!

❤️This week marks 2 years since our beloved cocker spaniel Dylan passed away. I created this free printable Rainbow Bridge poem on the blog in honor of Dylan. It can be customized with your pet's photo and would be a  cherished framed gift for someone who has lost a special pet. #rainbowbridge #doglove #dogheaven #rip #mydog  #neverforgotten #rainbowbridge🌈

We spent Earth Day 2022 in Springfield at the picnic and a movie event in the gardens. It was the perfect sunny afternoon with a breeze and we shared a delicious charcuterie picnic and watched "Bee Movie". The girls did crafts, played in the park, listened to speakers and poetry, and @theparkboard gave us a tree to take home. We had a great time and everyone slept the whole drive home (except Mom)! #earthday2022 #springfieldmo #missourilife #movienight #earthday #picnic #familyfun
