Fresh Fruit Parfait

June 08, 2016
What do you do when you have fresh strawberries from the garden?

Hmm...make a fresh fruit parfait, of course!

Serving, parfait, blueberries, strawberries, presentation


It has sort of been a nonsensical weather pattern and my garden has flourished one 

moment and then nearly drowned the next, right now it is baking under the Texas sun.

Not to be confused with the Tuscan sun!

Our Texas sun is brutal and not a romantic comedy at all, but we sure do love it in the 

Winter.


preparing, serving, whip cream, cool whip


Yes indeed, each one of these precious, sweet and juicy strawberries came from my 

garden.

They are tiny, but they are mighty and you know there is nothing quite as tasty as 

something homegrown.



sweet, dessert, Fourth of July, berries, pound cake


It seems that everyone nowadays calls layered desserts lasagna, but back in the day they 

were called all sort of things, but never lasagna.  

Lasagna back then was made up of noodles, sauce and a variety of cheese concoctions.

So my dessert is going to be called a parfait:)


instructions, tutorial, Summer, Summertime, pudding

This is another one of those desserts that I share from time to time, that is so fast  and easy 

to assemble.

There is a time and a place for everything and that includes the amount of time spent in 

the kitchen, especially when Summer time is here...you know what I mean.





cooking, baking, recipe, berries, pound cake,



So this is it- plain and simple.

A dessert that is pretty and keeps you and I out of the kitchen and in the garden this 

Summer!

XO

    Parfait sounds much prettier and lighter than lasagna. I'd love some please. ;)

    This Fruit Parfait looks really delicious, Jemma! This would be perfect and easy most any time. I am thinking it would be great for Independence Day since it contains lots of red, white and blue. Thanks for sharing!

    Good morning dear baker and homemaker! LOVE fresh strawberries, and the smaller ones have so much more flavor than the over-blown store-bought variety! While in France in the Southwest region of LOT, I ate so many of their seasonal strawberries and peaches that the palms of my hands turned orange! HAHAHAHHAHA but I could not get enough of those little rubies of flavor!

    Enjoy a fabulous day of fluffing up your nest. I'm cleaning like mad over here!

    This looks easy and so delicious. Like a flat trifle! I'll have to add this to the summer repetoire. (And yes, I love lasagna. On lasagna. This is a parfait!)

    Yes, I like the word parfait rather than lasagna. :) Your strawberry parfait looks scrumptious, Jemma. And there's nothing like homegrown veggies and fruits. When you said Under the Texas sun, I immediately thought Under the Tuscan sun hehehehe. I didn't know that the Texas sun can be brutal. It gets pretty warm here in California also, and that's why summer is not my favorite season.

    I appreciate all the goodies that you make for your family, Jemma. And I'm sure they love them as well.

    This looks and sounds delicious! I am having luck with my strawberries this year...most years I get a few and then we have too much rain and they get a fungus. But I am getting 10-15 every day now. Well for my little raised bed that is good! :)

    To make this dessert I am going to have to cheat and get some California ones from the store :)
