What to Gather
This angel food strawberry parfait recipe only requires a handful of easy to find ingredients. A full list of ingredients with measurements for this recipe is available in the printable recipe card below.
- Angel food cake– bake your own or grab one from the bakery like I do! There are some great box mixes out there too. Remember that Angel food is a little temperamental and bakes best on non-humid days.
- Fresh strawberry sauce– homemade strawberry sauce does need to be made from scratch, but is super easy and can be made ahead of time. Of course, you can grab jarred, but homemade is so much better.
- Fresh strawberries
- Whipped cream
5S Philosophy 👩🍳
- Salt – There is no salt in this recipe, but if you feel like it needs a little hint of salt, try sprinkling some flakey sea salt on top!
- Seasonings – You can add chocolate shavings, chocolate chips, sandwich cookies like Oreos or chocolate sauce to make this a chocolate parfait. Fresh mint pairs well with creamy whipped cream and adds an element of freshness.
- Sauces – A drizzle of creme de menthe or chocolate liqueur, or even chocolate sauce can take this up a notch.
- Swaps – Crunchy granola, chopped hazelnuts, walnuts or pecans are all a great option for crunch. You can always swap out the strawberries for another fruit. While they would no longer be Angel Food Strawberry Parfaits, a good alternative would be blueberries or raspberries.
- Senses – Angel food strawberry parfaits are light and airy, with sweet vanilla-scented cake layered between cool, juicy strawberries and fluffy whipped cream. Each bite melts on your tongue with a refreshing burst of berry brightness.

Storage and Freezing
How to store?
You can store any leftover angel food strawberry parfaits in an airtight container in the refrigerator. however, I recommend storing each element separately so that they don’t get soggy.
Can I freeze angel food strawberry parfaits?
I do not recommend freezing this dish. It will get quite soggy upon thawing and will not hold up well.
