So, I don't really bake (you may have seen my pumpkin pie video...that's it,) therefore I'm pretty limited in the dessert area. But one thing I will make is an easy fruit parfait with home made whipped cream, which is perfect for summer...
mmmmm....
So come on, enjoy a few calories with me...
Here's what you'll need:
1) Hand mixer
2) Heavy whipping cream
3) Vanilla (I love the Mexican variety)
4) Fruit and berries of your choice
5) Sweetener of some kind, powder sugar works well, this is what I had on hand
The only thing not in the picture is a large glass bowl which I have in the fridge. Using a cold bowl makes the process go faster and the cream splatters at first and then expands as you mix air into it so a larger bowl is a wise choice.
Pour your cream, vanilla and sweetener into the cold large bowl and hold the mixer on high to it for about 4-5 minutes. You'll get nice fluffy peaks when it's ready. I also adjust any flavor at this point, more vanilla or sweetener, maybe nothing if you like it. ( I would like to try adding peppermint extract for hot chocolate.)
Then begin layering fruit and whipped cream into the bowl...super easy!
Yeah, I suppose I could be healthier and use yogurt but hey, I was gonna eat the baked goods anyway.
(PS- wait till you see what can be done with the leftover whipped cream! In process now...)
So what do you do when your computer is a quitter?

Mmm... delicious!
I have an iPad but only use it to read; I find it hard to write on it. When my home-computer goes down, I use my work-computer. Hope your equipment situation improves.
Oh yum! This looks positively phenom! :)

Fruit and whip cream is delicious perfection!'
That dessert looks amazing! My 6 year old laptop is still hanging on and I am actively searching for a new one because I am sooooo afraid of it dying. I kinda want a tablet, but not an iPad. Apparently I don't love Apple stuff......
That looks SO good to me right now! YUM!
