These raspberry lime parfaits are bursting with fruit flavor and are absolutely gorgeous with the bright red color. Watch them fly off the brunch dessert table!
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.
In medium mixing bowl, gently combine raspberries, liqueur, emulsion and 1/4 cup sugar. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk softened mascarpone cheese, lime juice, cream and 2 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form.
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.
