Peppermint Parfaits
Peppermint candies lend their refreshing flavor to these scrumptious individual layered parfaits. They are perfection in pink.
Yield: 4 servings, one parfait each
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups water, divided
- 7 red starlight mints
- 1 (4 serving size) box Jell-O Brand Raspberry Flavor Gelatin
- 1 cup thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping, divided
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup of the water into small saucepan. Add mints. Bring to boil on medium heat; cook until mints are completely dissolved, stirring constantly. Add to dry gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir for 2 minutes until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in remaining 3/4 cup water. Remove 1 cup of the gelatin; set aside at room temperature.
- Refrigerate remaining gelatin for 45 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites).
- Add 1/2 cup of the whipped topping to slightly thickened gelatin; stir with wire whisk until well blended. Pour evenly into four parfait or dessert glasses.
- Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until gelatin is set but not firm (gelatin should stick to finger when touched and should mound).
- Pour reserved gelatin evenly over creamy layers.
- Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm.
- Top with the remaining 1/2 cup whipped topping just before serving.
- Store leftover parfaits in refrigerator.
