Strawberry Parfait

[Guest guest]

I got this off the Eating Well site. I made it tonight and it was

delish! I made the tapioca several days ago so it was very easy to pull

it together.

 

 

Strawberries and Cream Parfait

 

1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca

3 cups low-fat milk or unsweetened plain soymilk

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

2 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup whipping cream

6 sprigs fresh mint for garnish

 

1. Grind tapioca in a blender of coffee grinder until it is a fine

granular powder.

2. Whisk milk (or soymilk), maple syrup, egg and the tapioca in a small

heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stir in vanilla and

transfer to a medium bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface.

Refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours or overnight.

3. Whip cream using an electric mixer or whisk in a chilled bowl until

soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the tapioca mixture using

a rubber spatula.

4. Spoon 1/4 cup strawberries into each of six 8-ounce parfait glasses

or wineglasses. Top each with 1/3 cup tapioca cream. Repeat with

another layer of strawberries and tapioca cream. Garnish with the

remaining berries and a sprig of mint.
