Introduction: Straw-beery Parfait
Because BEER IS FOOD... and it can taste really GOOD, too! ;-D
Ingredients:
Chill the prepared Jello in a shallow pan for the Parfait-style dessert or just dessert glasses. (I used both.)
While the jello is setting, drain the Mandarin Oranges and gently fold in a few tablespoons of Cool Whip . Refrigerate.
Defrost a handful of Blueberries and wait for the jello to set.
When the Jello has set, slice it into 1" cubes and build the parfait in layers.
My construction, from bottom to top :
Only half of the alcohol is burned off during boiling. There's still a minute amount of alcohol left in the jello... but no one will ever guess it was made with beer!
I'm sure champagne or wine could also be substituted for the water in jello, depending on their alcohol content.
The possibilities are as endless as your imagination... and I'd love to see what you come up with!
