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 raspberry lime parfaits are a bit more dessert-like with the creamy cheese layers so they would be perfect for brunch!

Raspberry Lime Parfaits

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 pints raspberries
• 1/2 cup raspberry liqueur
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 8-ounce tub mascarpone cheese softened
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• zest of 2 limes

Instructions

1. Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat. Add 3 tbsp sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Cook until crumbs turn golden brown. Set aside to cool.

2. In medium mixing bowl, gently combine raspberries, liqueur, emulsion and 1/4 cup sugar. Set aside.

3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk softened mascarpone cheese, lime juice, cream and 2 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form.

4. Place a dollop of the cheese mixture in a dessert cup. Sprinkle with a little of the crumb mixture and a scoop of the raspberry sauce mixture. Repeat the three layers. Top with a dollop of the cheese mixture and some lime zest.

Recipe Notes

Can substitute cream cheese for mascarpone cheese, if desired.
