| 1/8 | Vanilla |
| 1 | Sour Cream |

Instructions:
-
Whip Cream: Begin by whipping the whipping cream until it reaches soft peaks. This usually takes just a few minutes, but make sure not to overwhip.
-
Sweeten Cream: Slowly add the sugar, salt, and vanilla to the whipped cream while continuing to beat. The sugar will add sweetness, while the salt enhances the flavors, and the vanilla lends its aromatic essence to the cream.
-
-
Beat to Stiff Peaks: Continue beating the cream mixture until it forms stiff peaks. This ensures a light and airy texture to your cream.
-
Incorporate Sour Cream: Gently fold in the sour cream to the whipped mixture. This adds a delightful tanginess and creaminess to the dessert.
-
Layering: Spoon half of the cherry pie filling into parfait glasses, creating a base for your parfaits.
-
Add Cream Mixture: On top of the cherry filling layer, carefully spoon in the prepared cream mixture. Ensure an even distribution to create beautiful layers.
-
Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining cherry pie filling and cream mixture. This creates visually appealing layers and ensures every bite is bursting with flavor.
-
Garnish: Sprinkle the top of each parfait with chopped nuts for added texture and nuttiness. You can use your favorite nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans for this step.
-
Serve: Your Cherry Cream Parfaits are now ready to be served! Enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness with friends and family.
