I have a bunch of calorie counters attending my annual 4th of July bash this year. When planning my menu I try to categorizemy guests to ensure that everyone has a great time and leaves the party witha full and happy tummy!! I wanted to go with a red – white – & blue dessert for the healthnuts but wanted it to be light and refreshing. I came up with a parfait that is quick – easy and adds a touch of whimsy to the day.
Ingredients:
Low-Fat Lemon Pudding (I would use the slow cook method – not instant)
1 pint – Blueberries
1 pint – Strawberries
1/4 – Granulated White Sugar
Cool Whip (personally I love it in the new can but whatver you like is fine!)
How to Prepare:
Wash blueberries and strawberries well. Hull strawberries & place in large mixing bowl – pour sugar over strawberries – cover & refridegeratefor 1 hour – In clear plastic cups (so the layers can easily be seen) add a layer of pudding – layer of blueberries – layer of yogurt – layer of strawberries – repeat process until cup is filled – top with Cool Whip and a few blueberries and strawberry for garnish. Keep refridgerated till serving or enjoy immediately.
As always, great post, great work. I just did a summer fruit with cream parfait with simple syrup. If you have the time come by and take a look. I made a quick cream with whipping cream, sour cream and honey.
