Directions

1
In a food processor or blender, pulse freeze-dried strawberries until finely ground into a powder.
2
In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and LorAnn Oils Strawberry Emulsion until stiff peaks form.
3
Gently fold in the ground strawberry powder until fully incorporated. Set aside.
4
In a saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice.
5
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
6
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
7
Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
8
Place a layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom of each serving glass or dish.
9
Spoon a layer of strawberry mousse over the chocolate cake, spreading it evenly.
10
Top with a layer of strawberry compote and fresh sliced strawberries
11
Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, ending with a dollop of strawberry mousse on top.
12
Garnish each parfait with a chocolate-covered strawberry.
