Red Velvet Strawberry Parfaits

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

Red Velvet Cookies:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar, divided
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 eggs, room temp
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Parfait:

  • 2 containers fresh strawberries, destemmed and quartered
  • 1 container ricotta cheese
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • whipped cream
  • strawberries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Red Velvet Cookies Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Whisk together cornstarch and 1 cup powdered sugar in small bowl. Add cake mix, butter, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
  3. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop batter and drop into powdered sugar. Roll into balls covered with powdered sugar. Place on baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 9-11 minutes.
  4. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Once fully cooled, break cookies into crumbles and set aside.

Parfait Directions

  1. Place strawberries and sugar in a bowl; toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
  2. Assemble parfait by scooping red velvet cookie crumbles in the bottom of the parfait glass. Follow by a layer of ricotta and a layer of strawberries. Then, repeat the three layers (cookie crumbles, ricotta, strawberries). Top with whipped cream and garnish with a strawberry on the side of parfait glass, if desired.
