Strawberry Brownie Parfaits
Strawberry Brownie Parfaits are layered desserts made with cubed brownies, sliced fresh strawberries, and fluffy cream cheese arranged in clear glasses. Alternate layers of brownie, cream, and berries, then finish with strawberry syrup and chocolate shavings.
Ingredients
- 1 pan prepared brownies homemade or box mix are fine
- 2-3 cups sliced, fresh strawberries
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 cups Cool Whip or whipped topping
- 6 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Prepare the Brownie Layer
- Bake your brownies according to package or recipe directions (8×8 for thicker pieces works best).
- Let them cool completely so they cut cleanly. Cut the brownies into small cubes; ½–¾-inch pieces work best.
Make the Cream Cheese Filling
- Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar (if using) until completely smooth.
- Add vanilla
- Fold in the Cool Whip until light and fluffy.
- Put in a piping bag for easy layering
Layer the Parfaits
- Start with a layer of brownie cubes at the bottom of each glass.
- Pipe or spoon on a layer of the cream cheese filling.
- Add a layer of sliced strawberries.
- Repeat layers: brownie, filling, strawberries, if you have room in your glass
Serve
- For a softer, more blended texture, chill 30–60 minutes before serving. For the crispest brownie texture, serve immediately after layering.
- Top with whipped cream before serving
