I named this a Texas Short Napoleon because first, I'm a Texan. Secondly, it reminds me of a combination of strawberry short cake and a Napoleon; hence "Texas Short Napoleon".
RECIPE for two desserts:
Three whole graham crackers - break each one down the center to make six cracker squares.
6 - 8 fresh strawberries
Canned whipped cream
6 teaspoons of a sugar-free red fruit jam (I used raspberry because that is what I had on hand, however, you may use strawberry.)
DIRECTIONS:
- Place one graham cracker on a dessert plate.
- Spread 1 teaspoon of jam on the top of the cracker.
- Slice each strawberry into 4 slices. Place the slices of one strawberry on top of the jam.
- Lightly spray the whipped cream (about the size of a silver dollar) over the strawberry and jam.
- Gently press a new graham cracker on top of the whipped cream.
- Repeat with each cracker until you have three crackers and top with the jam, strawberries and whipped cream.
- Garnish with a strawberry slice or a mint sprig.
- Serve immediately. This is a make and eat dessert. It will not last for very long.
So quick and easy...and the best of all...DEE-LISH-US!!!!!!
