Valentine Parfaits

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

16 oz Crushed frozen Strawberries in juice
1/2 gallon Vanilla Ice Cream, softened
Whipped Cream

Directions:

Thaw the strawberries and the ice cream until they're easily managed with a spoon. In parfait glasses or other nice-looking dish, place a layer of ice cream in the bottom of the glass, maybe just a couple of spoonfuls. On top of the ice cream add a strawberry layer. Add another
layer of ice cream and strawberries on top again.

Put the parfait glasses in the freezer until about 30-40 minutes before serving. Make sure they're thawed enough to prevent someone from breaking a glass with their spoon. Just before serving, top off the parfaits with whipped cream. You can use Dream Whip or make your own.

To make your own whipped topping, simply use two small containers of whipping cream, drop in about a tablespoon of sugar and beat until the cream forms stiff peaks. Then just dollop on top of the dessert.
Delicious!
