Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp cold water
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream or soft-serve
  • ½ cup granola
  • Whipped cream, to serve

Method
 

  1. Combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juice.
  2. Stir the cornstarch and cold water together in a small bowl, then pour the slurry into the saucepan. Stir constantly for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and turns glossy. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.
  3. Divide the vanilla ice cream evenly among 4 glasses, about ½ cup per glass, and press flat with the back of a spoon.
  4. Spoon 2 to 3 tbsp strawberry sauce over the ice cream in each glass, then scatter 2 tbsp granola over each serving.
  5. Top with a swirl of whipped cream, a drizzle of extra strawberry sauce, and a strawberry slice on the rim. Serve immediately.

Notes

The strawberry sauce can be made up to 7 days ahead and kept in a sealed jar in the fridge. Do not assemble the parfaits until you are ready to serve; once the granola hits the sauce, it softens quickly. If your berries are on the tart side, taste the sauce after the sugar dissolves and add another teaspoon before the slurry goes in.
