Layered Strawberry Cream Parfaits Recipe

"One of my favorite desserts, use tall dessert glasses for this, I strongly recommend to double this to yield 8 these are so delicious, to save time the strawberry puree may be made a day in advance and you may layer the dessert glasses hours ahead, vanilla wafer cookies work great for this or use cookies of choice, do not crush fine "
