We threw together this wonderful and simple summer treat on the afternoon of {A}’s birthday, and called it a Birthday Parfait.
It couldn’t be any easier to make:
1) Rinse some strawberries and blueberries in the sink.
(Next year we’ll have enough strawberries of our own from our garden, to not have to use store-bought, but these were really good berries, anyway! Big, juicy, and sweet.)
2) De-stem and slice the strawberries.
3) Go through the blueberries real quick , just to make sure there are no smooshy ones, : ) , and also take off any tiny stems still on.
4) Get out your can of Redi-Whip.
5) In clear cups, layer strawberries, whip cream, blueberries, and more whip cream on the top.
It was just the ‘light-little-something’ we needed that day, to hold us over until dinner.
It’s also perfect to serve on the 4th of July weekend, or Memorial Day weekend, being red, white and blue.
We and the kids loved it so much, we had it again a couple of days later. But that time, we sprinkled some Grape Nuts cereal on top, and we loved it even more.
Simple. Pretty. Tasty.
And simply pretty tasty.
