By ackmayhew

Ingredients

• 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed, undrained
• 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1/8 teaspoon red food coloring, optional
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped

Preparation

Step 1

Place strawberries in a food processor; process until pureed. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and strawberries until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Transfer to a large bowl; refrigerate until chilled.

Set aside 1 cup strawberry mixture. Add condensed milk, orange juice and, if desired, food coloring to remaining mixture; stir until blended. Fold in whipped cream.

Spoon 1/4 cup cream mixture into each of 12 parfait dishes or cocktail glasses. Layer each with 4 teaspoons of reserved strawberry mixture and 1/4 cup cream mixture. Refrigerate until serving.
