How to Make Low Fat Strawberry Parfait

  1. Wash and hull 1 pound of strawberries. Save 4 whole strawberries for garnish and slice the remaining strawberries.
  2. Set aside sliced strawberries.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 cup of water until hot (approximately 1-2 minutes).
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1 (3 ounce) package of unflavored gelatin and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Gradually pour the hot water over the gelatin mixture, stirring constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  5. Refrigerate the gelatin mixture for 5-10 minutes to slightly cool.
  6. In a medium bowl, place 1 cup of light sour cream.
  7. Add 1/4 of the cooled gelatin mixture to the sour cream and whisk until well combined and creamy.
  8. Gradually pour the remaining gelatin mixture into the sour cream mixture, whisking continuously until smooth and fully incorporated.
  9. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch glass casserole dish. Pour the gelatin mixture into the prepared dish.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the gelatin is completely set.
  11. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the gelatin into small squares.
  12. Use a spatula to gently release the squares from the bottom of the glass dish.
  13. To serve: Divide the gelatin squares equally among four stemmed glasses.
  14. Top each parfait with sliced strawberries, then a dollop of whipped topping (approximately 2 tablespoons per serving). Finish with a whole strawberry.
  15. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar over the top of each parfait.
  16. Add a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg to each parfait for an extra touch of flavor.
