Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (homemade or store-bought)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat and let them sit for about 15 minutes to release their juices.

    Make the Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

      Assemble the Parfait: In serving glasses or bowls, start layering the ingredients. Begin with a layer of strawberries (a couple of spoonfuls), then add a layer of whipped cream (about 1/4 cup), followed by a layer of granola. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

        Garnish and Chill: If desired, add a few fresh mint leaves for garnish. Cover the parfaits with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

          Serve: Enjoy your refreshing Strawberry Cream Parfait as a delightful dessert or a sweet breakfast treat!
