Well another year has come and gone and I'm turning another year older. I love chocolate covered strawberries so I wanted to make something that had those wonderful flavors in a cake form. This was a simple and fun treats to make.
Buy plastic wine glasses to hold the parfait. This dessert has three components choc. cake, strawberries, and lime flavored whipped cream.
Then I chopped fresh strawberries (small bits are the best :))
Make the whipped cream:
* Heavy whipping cream
* powder sugar
*vanilla extract
*lime zest and juice
1. You will need an electric mixer with a whisk attachment. Pour the whipping cream into the mixer bowl along with 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 tsp of lime juice, and add also zest from half of a lime. Turn on the mixer onto one speed above slow.
2. Allow to mix until it starts to thicken, then begin to add 1 tbs of powder sugar at a time, you will need to add at least 5 tbs but taste to see if you want it sweeter. Continue to mix until the peaks are stiff.
Build your Parfait: (make sure cake is completely cooled) Cake/strawberries/cream......repeat. :)
