I found a recipe for lime parfaits online. This recipe has gotten me a lot of praise. I was racking my brain for a Thanksgiving dessert and tried several different ways to create a variation of the lime parfait. I tried pomegranate and cranberry juice first, both 100%. They were too wet. So, I had a light in my head go off and thought I should try cranberry sauce instead. It worked so well! I even added it to the real whipped cream I whipped up and it was delicious.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 can low-fat sweetened condensed milk , 14 ounce
- 0.5 cups cranberry sauce
- 1 cup cold whipping cream
Instructions
-
1
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and cook until bubbling, about 1 minute. Add the graham cracker crumbs; stir until the color deepens, about 3 minutes. Turn out onto a plate to cool.

Combine the condensed milk and cranberry sauce in a mixing bowl, blend together with a hand mixer until the mixture thickens. Place the whipping cream in a separate bowl and beat with an electric mixer until firm peaks form; fold into the cranberry mixture.

Layer 1/4 cup of the cranberry mixture into each of six (8 ounce) wine goblets or glasses; top each with 1 tablespoon of the crumbs. Repeat layering. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.

Minnie Mouse Cupcakes
Vanilla Oreo cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. These were a huge hit with the kids and tasted so good. They were so much better than using a packaged cake mix. The cream cheese frosting went really well with the Oreos. As the birthday cake lady, this is now my go-to cream cheese frosting, and I will never buy a box cake mix again.
Easy Freezy Pumpkin Pie
We made this recipe in third grade and the teacher sent a copy of the recipe home. I loved it so much I insisted my Mom make it, too. Ever since then it's become a Thanksgiving tradition each year. It has lasted the test of time because now I'm a mother of a third grader and we still make it! The pie requires no baking! And kids love it because it's made of ice cream.
Pumpkin Loaf
The cream cheese contributes to the excellence of this loaf.
