Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 package (3 ounce) regular OR sugar-free cherry gelatin, divided (*gluten-free version: use gluten free gelatin - I use Aldi's gelatin)
2 cup boiling water, divided
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream, divided (*gluten-free version: Daisy brand of sour cream is gluten free)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract, divided (*gluten-free version: use gluten free almond extract)
1 cup regular OR diet lemon-lime soda, divided
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Garnish:
1/4 cup Reduced-fat whipped topping
Dark chocolate curls (with a potato peeler I shaved the ends of an unsweetened Godiva chocolate baking bar to make my curls)
Candy hearts (*gluten-free version: use gluten free candy hearts, or omit).

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, dissolve 1 package of gelatin in boiling water.
  • Transfer 1/2 cup of gelatin to another bowl and whisk in 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 teaspoon extract.
  • Divide among four parfait glasses or dessert dishes.
  • Refrigerate until firm, about 35 minutes.
  • Stir 1/2 cup soda into the remaining gelatin; cover and refrigerate until partially set.
  • Remove parfaits from the refrigerator and top the set sour cream/gelatin mixture with 5 -6 whole blueberries. Now add the gelatin/soda mixture, dividing it among the four parfaits.
  • Refrigerate until firm, approximately another 35 minutes.
  • Repeat the layering process as before, but instead of topping the sour cream/gelatin layer with blueberries, top with sliced strawberries and another layer of gelatin/soda mixture.
  • Just before serving, garnish with a dollop of whipping topping, dark chocolate curls, and candy hearts.
  • Serve.
  • Refrigerate leftovers.

PRE-VALENTINE DAY PARFAITS



Pre-Valentine Day Parfaits image

This is more of an idea, than an actual recipe. I am posting it to give you an idea of what can be done with left over cheesecake batter, and left over Homemade chocolate chip cookies. I also had extra Strawberries left over from my Valentines Day Two Layer Cheesecake that I was making a day early. So rather than throw it out, I decided to make parfaits, & it was the perfect addition to our left over Hodge Podge dinner from the fridge. While I was prepping for my Valentine's Dinner. The part that was left over was the NO BAKE LAYER of the cheesecake. Parfaits makes an impressive dessert.
