Simple and classic, this strawberry parfait dessert is the one everyone will love. Made with easily available Summer fresh ingredients, it makes a fun recipe to enjoy in hot weather!
Hi everyone! Heather here from Food Lovin' Family sharing one of my favorite EASY summer desserts. Sometimes simple is better. I am sure you have heard the saying KISS, keep it simple sweetheart. 🙂 That is what I love about these fresh strawberry parfaits. With a few ingredients, you have a delicious dessert.
Berry season is here, in fact my daughter's class just went to pick strawberries for a field trip at school. She brought home a big basket of fresh, beautiful strawberries for us to eat. I will admit we ate most of them straight out of the basket but with the few we had left, I decided to make these strawberry parfaits.
To make these pudding parfaits, mix together one box of instant vanilla pudding with milk and chill until it sets. Chocolate pudding would be great too! Layer vanilla wafer cookies, pudding, more cookies, more pudding and then top with a mixture of fresh cut strawberries and strawberry glaze. Strawberry glaze can usually be found in the produce section.
Top the dessert with a dollop of frozen whipped topping or whipped cream. For these parfaits I typically serve them in small glasses. You could also use a small trifle bowl or an 8x8 baking dish.
I love a cool dessert on a hot summer day. Especially a down home classic like these parfaits. Can't you just picture yourself swinging on a porch swing with a nice summer breeze and eating one of these yummy desserts? 🙂
Some of my other favorite summer desserts are these Patriotic cupcakes, great for the 4th of July holiday and always classic Strawberry Crepes with cream cheese filling.

These look delicious. I'm going to make them with the chocolate pudding. The whole family will love them with the chocolate flavor with strawberries. Thanks for sharing.
