And you thought shot glasses were just for holding alcohol. Psssh. Prepare a cute dessert for any party with these parfait shooters!
Utensils required: Small glasses, spoon
Ingredients (makes 3- to 4-ounce cups):
8 ounces lowfat/nonfat yogurt (or ice cream, to make this more of a dessert)
Your favorite cereal(s) — I used chocolate crisped rice and shredded wheat
Your favorite fruit(s) — I used bananas
Note: If you decide to make ice cream shooters, consider buying some chocolate or caramel syrup to drizzle on top.
Time commitment: 5-7 minutes
Steps:
1. Put a dollop of yogurt or ice cream on the bottom of each cup, then layer ingredients as you desire.
2. Garnish with a light sprinkle of cereal, a drizzle of chocolate/caramel syrup or a slice of fruit.
Tip: Make these just before the party starts. If you prepare them too far in advance, the cereal will get soggy and the yogurt/ice cream will seep through, causing your sweet layered look to disappear. (You could even lay out all of your ingredients in small dishes and create a “parfait bar” so your guests can make their own customized treats!)
(Okay, so this recipe is pretty much a miniature version of the breakfast parfaits, but once I saw how cute these little cups looked I figured they deserved their own post!)
