Ingredients

Servings 6

1 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, scored
3/4 cup white chocolate, finely chopped
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1 tablespoon raw sugar
1 store-bought vanilla cake, cubed

Instructions

For the vanilla-white chocolate whipped cream: Heat the cream and vanilla in a pot, stirring, until it starts to steam (do not let it boil). Discard the vanilla bean. Place the white chocolate in a bowl, and pour the cream on top, mixing until melted. Refrigerate covered until completely cool, about 1 hour. Whip until soft peaks form using a whisk or electric hand mixer.
Mix the strawberries with the sugar in a bowl. Spoon some whipped cream into the bottom of a glass, and then top with a layer of strawberries and a layer of cake. Repeat until the glass is full. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and more strawberry slices.

Why this Strawberry Shortcake Parfait works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Strawberry Shortcake Parfait works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
