Parfait
Recipe By :Dottie
Categories:Desserts
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
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!)
