The 15 minute summer dessert you've always wanted.
Ingredients
  • For the Parfait:
  • 20 whole almonds
  • 1 tablespoon light cane sugar (or regular sugar)
  • 14oz strawberries, washed, hulled and cut in small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon honey (I like runny acacia)
  • For the Greek yogurt mousse:
  • 9 oz Greek yogurt
  • 4 oz fresh heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon honey (like runny acacia)
  • Seeds from 1 vanilla bean pod (or ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract)
Instructions
  1. Pulse the almonds in a blender or food processor so that they are roughly chopped. Put them in a small skillet and add the sugar. Toast over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until the sugar has melted and the almonds are golden; stir often. Lay them out on a piece of parchment paper to cool.
  2. In the meantime, put the Greek yogurt, whipped cream, honey and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer. Attach the splash guard. With the beater attachment, whip the mixture on the beater setting for 3-4 minutes until firm peaks form. You can also use a hand mixer.
  3. Mix the strawberries with the honey. In four glasses, alternate two times a layer of strawberries followed by a layer of the mousse. Top with the caramelized almonds.
