Sometimes, for a lighter take, we make the lime topping for this fast-fixing summer treat with a reduced-fat whipped topping. It tastes just as great. Pretzels add a nice crunch. Ingredients:
1 cup coarsely crushed pretzels |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1-1/2 teaspoons grated lime peel |
1-1/3 cups sliced fresh strawberries |
1-1/3 cups fresh raspberries |
1-1/3 cups fresh blueberries |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the pretzels, sugar and butter; press into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the whipped topping, confectioners' sugar, lime juice and peel. In another bowl, combine the berries. Break pretzel mixture into small pieces.
3. Spoon 2 tablespoons lime mixture into each of eight parfait glasses. Layer each with 1 tablespoon pretzel pieces and 1/2 cup berries. Top each with remaining lime mixture and pretzel pieces. Serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings.
