Tips to make Frozen Strawberry Parfait for a Chic Women’s Day Party

Choose the Right Strawberries

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best natural sweetness. If strawberries are slightly sour, add a spoon of honey while blending. If fresh strawberries are not available, frozen ones work well—just let them thaw before blending.

Whisk the Cream Properly

Make sure your cream is chilled before whisking. Use an electric whisk for faster results and stop once soft peaks form—overwhisking can make it grainy. For extra stability add a spoonful of hung curd while whisking.

Strain the Strawberry Puree

After blending the strawberries, strain the puree through a sieve to remove seeds. This gives your parfait a smoother finish and better taste.

Layer with Crunch for Contrast

Instead of just biscuits, try layering with crushed Chocolate Biscotti with Pistachios for a rich, nutty contrast. You can also use granola, nuts or even roasted makhana (fox nuts) for added crunch.

Sweeten Smartly

Don’t use refined sugar—honey, jaggery powder or maple syrup are better. These natural sweeteners add depth to the flavour without making it heavy.

Freeze with Care

Freeze your parfait for at least 4-5 hours for the perfect consistency. If serving later, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before eating—it makes the flavours more pronounced.

Gourmet Garnish

Top your parfait with chopped pistachios, chocolate curls or edible dried rose petals for a pretty look. A drizzle of melted dark chocolate can elevate the whole thing.

Serve in Fancy Glassware

Presentation is everything! Use tall glasses, martini glasses or even kulhads for a twist. Layering in clear glasses makes the pink of the parfait pop.

Indian Touch

Add a pinch of cardamom powder or a dash of rose water to the strawberry mixture. It’s a festive Indian touch and pairs well with the richness of Chocolate Biscotti with Pistachios.

Try Yogurt for a Healthy Version

If you want a lighter version, use half the whipped cream and half hung curd (Greek yogurt). It adds a tang and keeps the parfait creamy. Sweeten with honey or date syrup for a balanced taste.
