Servings: 4 parfaits
Ingredients
- 6 frozen mini waffles
- 1 pint strawberries
- 20 ounces pineapple tidbits
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 6 tablespoons sugar (divided 4+2)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (divided 1+1)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 ounces Greek yogurt
- honey
Instructions
- Toast waffles according to package instructions. Cut 2 waffles in half and the rest into quarters or smaller pieces.
- Drain the pineapple tidbits. Remove the tops of the strawberries and quarter them. Toss the pineapple and the strawberries together in a bowl with orange juice, 4 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Set aside and allow strawberries to release their juices.
- Using your stand mixer or a glass bowl with your hand mixer, beat cream on high for 2-3 minutes until peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and the Greek yogurt. Gently fold those ingredients into the whipped peaks using a spatula to make the whipped cream mixture.
- Fill the bottom of 4 (8 ounce) glasses with waffles pieces. Top with whipped cream. Spoon in a layer of fruit. Repeat layers.
- To top parfaits, cut a small slice into the bottom of the waffle halves. Fit the waffles onto the sides of the glasses. Add a whole strawberry next to the waffle. Finish with a final dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of honey.

Notes
To make neat whipped cream layers, I always use a piping bag with a large round tip to pipe the cream into the glasses. Spooning it in can make the sides of your glasses messy.
