Easter is such a fun time of the year, especially with younger children. If you are entertaining for Easter, we suggest this Easter Bunny Inspired Strawberry Parfait.
Strawberry Parfaits are a perfect dessert recipe in the spring time as Strawberries are in season! These Easter Bunny Strawberry Parfaits are sure to be a hit with kids young and old! It’s also a great recipe to get kids to “play” with their food. Often times when children are involved in the kitchen, it motivates them to eat the ingredients as they are making their own food. It’s a win, win as you are entertaining the kids and keeping them busy, even just for a few minutes!
We wanted to make these Strawberry Parfaits a quick and easy dessert recipe that doesn’t involve a lot of fuss. However, should you wish to make your own pound cake or whipped cream, we support it!
How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream
If you’ve never made homemade whipped cream, I strongly suggest it. It’s such a quick and easy recipe. In my opinion, homemade whipped cream also tastes better than the store bought version.
You’ll need:
- 1 C Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 TBSP Powdered Sugar
- 1 TSP Vanilla Extract
In a large bowl, whip together the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract with a hand or stand mixer until a peak holds onto your beater. This typically takes about 3-4 minutes on a high speed.

Ingredients Needed To Make Easter Bunny Strawberry Parfaits
- 32 oz container of strawberries, sliced
- 6 1/2 oz whipped cream
- 8 jumbo marshmallows
- 1-2 oz pink sugar crystals
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 angel food cake or pound cake, cut into cubes
- 12 oz. white chocolate shavings or coconut shavings
- chocolate chips for eyes
Mix together your sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup of sugar. Let them set for at least 20 minutes for juice to accumulate.
In the trifle glass, stick strawberries slices to the sides. You may want them to be a little damp so that they stick to the glass.
In the bottom of the trifle glass, pour a little bit of the strawberry juice.
Add a layer of angel food cake (or pound cake cubes).
Then a layer of whipped cream, add some strawberry slices. Continue to repeat with whipped cream being the finishing ingredients.
On the top of the whipped cream, add a small, rounded piece of cake.
Cut a marshmallow diagonally and cut off the corners. Dip the cut side into pink sugar crystals to form the ears. Dip the small corner cut pieces in sugar to form a little nose
Add chocolate chips for the eyes.
