Strawberry Parfait
Serves 6
- 1 16 oz. container fresh strawberries, stemmed and chopped
- ¼ c. plus 1/8 c. sugar
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 c. heavy cream
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 6 baked sweet sour-cream biscuits, crumbled
- Pinch salt
Prepare biscuits. Mix chopped strawberries with ¼ cup sugar, chopped lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the cream with 1/8 cup sugar, vanilla, and another pinch of salt. Whip to stiff peaks. To build, layer strawberry mixture in a glass or cup with the whipped cream and the crumbled biscuits. Garnish with mint sprigs.
