Lime Parfait Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare Jello as directed on the box. Divide into individual serving glasses before setting the Jello in the refrigerator. Once Jello is completely set, prepare the pudding. 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.

Steps:

• Mix gelatin with yogurt, then fold in dessert topping.
• 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.

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Mix in sugar and stir until bubbling, about 1 minute. Mix in crumbs; stir until color deepens, about 3 minutes. Turn out onto plate and cool.
• Stir condensed milk, lime juice and lime peel in large bowl to blend (mixture will thicken). Using electric mixer, beat cream in medium bowl until firm peaks form; fold into lime mixture.
• Place 1/4 cup lime mousse in each of six 8- to 10-ounce wine goblets. Top each with 1 tablespoon crumb mixture, then 1/4 cup mousse. Top parfaits with remaining crumb mixture. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

Steps:

• Pour about 1-inch (2.5-cm) of water in the bottom of the saucepan and bring to a boil. Put the zest, lime juice, ¼ cup (50 mL) of the sugar, egg yolks and salt into a medium-sized heatproof bowl. Fill a large bowl with ice and a little water to make an ice bath.
• Pour 3 tbsp (45 mL) of cold water in a small heatproof custard cup and sprinkle over the gelatine.
• Reduce the heat so that the water in the saucepan barely simmers and place the bowl on top. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is frothy, light-coloured and warm in the centre, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the bowl to the ice bath to cool.
• Place the custard cup with the gelatine into the hot water in the saucepan. Once the gelatine is melted, whisk it into the lime mixture. Whisk occasionally until the mixture cools.
• In a clean bowl with clean beaters, whisk the whites at low speed until frothy, and then add the cream of tartar. Increase the speed to medium-high, and when the whites turn white and the froth disappears, gradually add the remaining ¼ cup (50 mL) of sugar. Continue beating until the whites are thick, resembling thickly whipped cream.In a separate bowl (you can use the same beaters), whisk the cream until soft peaks form. Whisk a couple of large spoonfuls of the egg whites into the lime mixture to lighten it. Pour the ice and water out of the ice bath bowl; dry bowl. Pour the lightened lime mixture into this cold bowl, then tip the remaining egg whites and the cream mixture on top and fold together gently. Pour into a bowl or individual dishes and refrigerate at least 4 hours or until firm.
• Garnish with lime zest and blueberries and serve.

Steps:
