CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY PARFAIT

Layers upon layers of delicious Sara Lee® All Butter Pound Cake, rich chocolate filling and ripe strawberries make this chocolate parfait an irresistible treat! Perfect for last minute guests or as a quick after dinner dessert!

When I first heard the word “parfait” it sounded like such an intimidating dessert. I mean we have cookies, cakes, bars, brownies but parfait, such a grown up word!
