Monday’s Bread Bowl: Easy Strawberry Parfaits

A smooth summer dessert

We called on the convenience of JELL-O to make these creamy parfaits that will cool your taste buds and satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth.  Here’s the recipe:

What you will need:

1 medium-sized sauce pan

1 wire whisk

1 medium-sized Pirex (heat safe) bowl

2 to 3 cups water

2 cups whole milk

1 whole-egg, beaten  

1 (2.9 oz) package JELL-O Cook & Serve Custard

3 to 4 glass cups or champagne glasses

2 cups fresh strawberries

Cooking and Directions:

Pour water into saucepan then heat up on medium-high heat.  Place Pirex bowl over boiling water so that it’s cradled by the saucepan.  This creates a make-shift double boiler.  Pour two cups whole milk into bowl.  Let milk slowly steep for 10 to 12 minutes while occasionally stirring with wire whisk.  Next, gradually pour JELL-O mix into milk while stirring.  Let powder dissolve then pour in beaten egg while quickly whisking. 

Fill the bottom of glass cups with strawberries.  Pour slightly cooled custard into and over fruit.  Place newly made parfaits in fridge for at least 3 hours.  Serve with whipped topping.
