4th of July Parfait

Happy Third of July!

It seems that although it is only the third, many people are busy lighting off fireworks, BBQing and spending time with friends and family.  The recipe I found is perfect after a BBQ while watching the sky light up with fireworks! My family has always had a tradition on the 4^th to grill out, jump in the pool, then light off fireworks at the end of the night.  There is always a vast array of desserts we have to choose from.  From brownies to cookies, the possibilities are endless.  I was trying to think of a dessert that is satisfying to the children and adults of our family, while also healthy.  This snack is not only healthy but gluten-free!

Children love the red, white and blue theme of the 4^th of July and this dessert plays right along with it!

You will need:

-Plastic Parfait/Champagne Glasses

-3 Boxes of Raspberries

-3 boxes of Blueberries

-2 boxes of Vanilla Cookies (Any type of cookie will work J)

-Whipped cream

Once you have your class you want to first add the berries.  Either blue or red.  After you add the desired berries you will then add some whip cream to distinguish among the other things.  You then can add the vanilla cookies.  After the cookies, add whip cream then put the other berries you didn’t use to start your glass.  You continue this pattern until you are to the top of the glass!  These yummy desserts will be a hit this 4^th of July!!

Have a fun and safe 4^th!
