Raspberry Lime Parfaits

I have a thing for breakfast parfaits. They’re just so darn pretty with all the layers, and they’re perfect for people who don’t want a super heavy meal in the morning.

That being said, I sorta think these lime and raspberry parfaits are a bit more dessert-like with the creamy cheese layers so they would be perfect for brunch!
