Dottie Berries and Cream Parfait Reviews Date of last review 1 Sun February 8, 2004 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers None indicated 10.0 Description: Ingredients: 1 cup heavy cream 6 packets artificial sweetener 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup fresh blueberries -- or frozen -unsweetened 8 each strawberries -- sliced thin 8 tablespoons wheat germ 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon How To Prepare: In a bowl, gently toss blueberries w/1 pkt sweetener and 1/4 cup water. In another bowl, do the same with the strawberries. In a baggie, toss wheat germ with 1 pkt sweetener, cinnamon and butter. Toss well, then spread out in a single layer on a cookie sheet to dry. Beat heavy cream with remaining sweetener and vanilla extract. Put about 2T of the beaten cream into each of 8 parfait or champaign glasses. Layer a few blueberries, then 1T cream, then a layer of strawberries, then more cream and finally the sweetened wheat germ on top. Refrigerate until serving time. For a real summery taste -use a few drops of peppermint extract instead of the vanilla:) Carb saving tip: the wheat germ makes up a huge amount of the total carbs for this recipe(about 30g!) - if you like, sub chopped macadamias or pecans(about 1/4 cup) -toss with the butter, sweetener and cinnamon and use instead!(using macadamias, it takes the recipe total down to a mere 35g for 8 servings!) Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: 61g carbs total Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Tammy Marie   Posts: 0 see this user's products

	Review Date: Sun February 8, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): easy to make and fast Cons: too much sweetener for me I just used 1 packet of Splenda in the whipped cream. Could use 1 packet divided on the berries. But this is soooooooooo good. I did substitute pecans for the wheat germ.
