The magical season is here right at our doorsteps. So how about a wonderful, Christmassy dessert to share with your family and friends? A totally awesome yet simple dessert to delight your senses. Layers of strawberries and cream. It sounds so good already, right?

I really love cakes and puddings for Christmas, but this time I decided to deviate from the traditional path, and make something special. When I made this parfait the very first time, everyone in the family just loved and loved it. That moment I decided it’s going to be this year’s Christmas dessert.

Strawberry Jelly Parfait

The ultimate heavenly strawberry desert with layers of strawberries, jelly and cream.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

To make strawberry jelly:

45g strawberry jelly crystals
225 ml boiling water
2 strawberries, sliced

To make whipped cream:

21/2 cups fresh cream
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

To make strawberry cream:

3 strawberries, cut into halves
½ cup fresh whipped cream

Other ingredients:

2 strawberries, sliced
4 mint leaves, 2 for each glass, to decorate (optional)

Instructions

Make the jelly:

Prepare the jelly according to the packet instructions. (I mixed the jelly crystals in the boiling water). Divide the mixture between two glasses. Place the sliced strawberries in the jelly mixture.Then leave it in the refrigerator to set. If possible, place the glasses in a slanting position, so the jelly will retain that shape when set.

Make whipped cream:

Place cream, caster sugar, and vanilla essence in a deep bowl. Use an electric mixer to whip the cream. Set aside.

Make the strawberry cream:

Place the strawberries to make the cream in a blender, and make a smooth puree. Mix together the pureed strawberries and 1/2 cup whipped cream. Set aside.

Arrange the layers:

When the jelly is set, top it with the strawberry cream. Then add 2 cups whipped cream. Decorate with mint leaves.

Notes

Once all the layers are ready to assemble, keep them in the refrigerator. Arrange them in layers just before serving.
