Lime Jello Parfait Recipe 465

EASY MINI JELL-O PARFAIT RECIPE

Steps:

• Set aside 6 mini glass jars -- cleaned out baby food jars work great!
• Boil 1 cup of the water.
• In a medium, heat-proof bowl, pour in the boiling water. Add the package of Jell-O and whisk until completely dissolved.
• Next, add the remaining cup of cold water and stir.
• Pour some -- not all -- of the Jell-O mixture evenly among all 6 jars, filling the jar halfway, about 3 tbsp per jar.
• Set the remaining Jell-O aside at room temperature and place the jars in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours until just set.
• When 2 hours is up, add nearly all of the Cool Whip to the Jell-O that wasn't chilled, leaving about 6 tbsp of Cool Whip aside for topping the jars.
• Pour the Jell-O mousse into the jars on top of the set Jell-O, leaving just a bit of room on the top for the remaining whipped topping to be added later.
• Place the jars back in the fridge and let set for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, add the remaining Cool Whip to the tops of the jars by dolloping on with a spoon or using a piping bag.
• Garnish with fresh fruit if desired and serve.

KEY LIME PARFAIT

• Layer evenly in 6 parfait glasses 1/2 of the graham cracker crumbs; followed by 1/2 of the yogurt mixture; followed by remaining graham cracker crumbs; followed by remaining yogurt mixture.
• Top with shredded coconut.
• Garnish each parfait glass with a slice of lime.
• Serve chilled.

TROPICAL LIME PARFAITS

Steps:

• For the crumb: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, butter, coconut chips and lime zest in a bowl. Mix to combine.
• For the filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, coconut extract and lime zest and juice in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
• Begin by layering 1/4 cup of the crumb in the bottom of each of 4 parfait glasses. Top each with 1/3 cup of the filling. Repeat the layers once more, then garnish with extra toasted coconut and lime zest.

LOOPY LIME AND LYCHEE GELATIN PARFAIT

Steps:

• Evenly divide the lychees cut-side down among 4 parfait glasses.
• Add the gelatin powder to a large measuring cup. Add 1/2 cup of boiling water and stir until the powder is dissolved. Stir in the lychee syrup and vodka. Pour over the prepared glasses and refrigerate until gelatin sets, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, whip the cream. In a large bowl add the heavy cream and whisk briskly until soft peaks form, then add the sugar and vanilla and continue to whisk until firm peaks form when the whisk is removed.
• Once the gelatin sets, top with whipped cream and a cherry for garnish.

LIME JELLO PARFAIT RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Add desired food coloring to your liking and let set for 15 minutes. Once pudding is set, add a layer of pudding on top of each layer of Jello. Top with a layer or a dollop of Cool Whip, lime juice, and a wedge of lime. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
