Loopy Lime And Lychee Gelatin Parfait Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl place cut fruit, blueberries, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon sugar. Mix well and macerate for about 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow fruit to be infused with lemon juice and sugar. Meanwhile in a small bowl stir 2 cups of lowfat yogurt and poppy seeds. In clear glasses, layer the ingredients starting with the fruit mixture then next layer with yogurt, then fruit, then yogurt. Repeat these steps until you have filled the glasses. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the gelatin and the sugar. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add boiling water to the bowl and whisk vigorously to dissolve the gelatin. To the gelatin mixture, add 1 cup of lychee syrup, and rum and whisk again. Cut the lychees in half and place 1 half in each cup. Pour the gelatin mixture into the cups. Refrigerate until set.

Steps:

• Prepare the red velvet cake according to package instructions, substituting melted butter for the oil. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch cake pan or baking dish and bake according to the package instructions. Let cool completely, then cut into bite-sized chunks (reserve crumbs).
• Gently fold together the whipped topping with the frosting in a bowl. Spoon a dollop into a parfait glass, then sprinkle with candied pecans and walnuts. Top with a few pieces of the cake. Continue layering the frosting mixture, nuts and cake, finishing with a garnish of cake crumbs (tear up additional cake cubes if necessary). Repeat with remaining parfait glasses and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put the Prosecco, 1/2 cup of the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to burn off some of the alcohol. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the gelatin until completely dissolved. Pour into a 9 by 11-inch baking dish, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate to set up for at least 4 hours.
• In a large bowl, whip the cream to medium stiff peaks. In another bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup sugar into the mascarpone until smooth. Add 1/3 of the whipped cream to the mascarpone to lighten, and then fold in the remaining whipped cream. Cut the Prosecco gelatin into 1 by 1-inch cubes and put a layer into the bottoms of 4 parfait glasses. Divide 1/2 of the cream mixture among the glasses on top of the gelatin, and then repeat with 2 more layers, ending with a final dollop of the cream. Serve with a long spoon and dig in!

Steps:

• In a small pot on medium heat dissolve sugar in water. Raise the heat, add the lime rind and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced. Remove from heat and discard the lime rinds. Stir in the food coloring and cool.
• Fill 4 glasses with ice and distribute the lime syrup and lime juice, to taste, into each glass. Top with seltzer and stir. Garnish with lime slices.

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.
