Serves: 4
Prep time:
Total time:
Ingredients
- 2 small boxes sugar-free gelatin (you choice of two different complementary flavors)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 teaspoon Swerve sweetener (optional)
Instructions
- Make the gelatin according to the package directions.
- Chill the gelatin in shallow cake pans or casseroles. You want the gelatin to be about 1 inch thick or less.
- Whip the cream, adding the unflavored gelatin, which helps to stabilize it.
- If you prefer your whipped cream on the sweeter side, add up to 1 teaspoon Swerve and whip to incorporate.
- Cut the hardened gelatin into small squares with a sharp knife.
- Place about ⅛ of one the gelatins in each of four stemmed glasses or parfait glasses. I use four stemmed Martha Stewart tumblers that I got at K-Mart. They’re supposed to be used for water, but what the heck. They’re classy enough for my brood.
- Place a dollop of the whipped cream on top of the gelatin cubes.
- Put about ⅛ of the second gelatin flavor on top of the whipped cream.
- Add about ⅛ (and last of) of the first gelatin flavor on top of the second layer of whipped cream, and top it with the last of the second gelatin.
- Finish off with the last of the whipped cream.
- Place the parfaits in the refrigerator until it is time to serve them.
