3 cups fresh, sliced strawberries or fresh raspberries
dairy free dark chocolate shavings (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare 8x8-inch baking dish by lining with parchment paper or spraying with cooking spray.
In large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add hot water, melted shortening and vanilla. Mix until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Bake brownies for 26-28 minutes, until center is set. Allow to cool in pan for 15-20 minutes.
Carefully lift brownies out of pan, using the parchment paper. Cool completely. Cut brownies into bite-size squares.
To assemble, start by placing a layer of brownie cubes into each parfait glass. Top brownies with single layer of sliced strawberries, followed by a layer of whipped topping. Repeat with an additional layer of brownies, strawberries and whipped topping.
Finish each parfait with chocolate shavings (optional). Serve immediately or keep chilled in refrigerator until ready to be served. Can be made up to 1 day in advance.
