One 1-pound bag frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 scant cup chilled heavy whipping cream
Eight 2-inch vanilla meringue cookies, coarsely broken (about 2 cups), plus 2 more, halved

3 packages (7 oz each) flaked coconut (7 2/3 cups)
1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: As with any recipe, having all of your ingredients and tools ready before you start will make the process much smoother. This is especially important for this recipe, as the parfaits are assembled in layers and you don't want to be scrambling for ingredients as you go.
  • Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries are essential for this recipe. They should be sweet and juicy, with a vibrant red color. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Make Your Own Coconut Macaroons: While you can certainly use store-bought coconut macaroons, making your own is easy and will give you a fresher, more flavorful result. Plus, you can customize the flavor of your macaroons by adding different extracts or spices.
  • Chill the Parfaits Before Serving: This will help the layers set and make the parfaits easier to eat. You can chill them for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.

Conclusion:

Strawberry Cream Parfaits with Coconut Macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and refreshing, with a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors. The coconut macaroons add a nice crunch and texture to the parfaits, and the whipped cream topping adds a touch of richness. These parfaits are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
