This little treat is perfect for the 4th of July and comes together so easily. Although it’s definitely a dessert, I like the fact that it’s fairly healthy since it mostly consists of fruit juice and fresh fruit!
DOUBLE BERRY PARFAIT
- 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 cups white cranberry peach juice
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cups blueberries (you could use blackberries too)
- 2 cups strawberries, quartered (I bet raspberries would be great also)
- whipped cream
Stir together the unflavored gelatin and sugar in a medium saucepan. Add 1 cup of the juice and cook over low heat, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes until the gelatin completely dissolves. Remove from heat. Slowly stir in the remaining juice and the lemon juice.
Spoon the blueberries into one 2-quart bowl, or divide them among 6 sundae glasses. Add half of the gelatin mixture. Refrigerate them for about 2 hours or until set while leaving the remaining gelatin mixture at room temperature. Once the blueberry half is set up, stir the strawberries into the remaining juice/gelatin mixture and then refrigerate for about an hour until partially set. Spoon the strawberry mixture on top of the blueberry mixture. Refrigerate for about 3-4 hours or until completely set. Top with whipped cream and serve. Enjoy!

Wow, this looks so great. I’m definitely going to try it. Maybe I’ll try putting it in clear plastic disposable cups.
