Chilly Leprechaun Parfaits Recipes

EASY MINI JELL-O PARFAIT RECIPE

Steps:

• Set aside 6 mini glass jars -- cleaned out baby food jars work great!
• Boil 1 cup of the water.
• In a medium, heat-proof bowl, pour in the boiling water. Add the package of Jell-O and whisk until completely dissolved.
• Next, add the remaining cup of cold water and stir.
• Pour some -- not all -- of the Jell-O mixture evenly among all 6 jars, filling the jar halfway, about 3 tbsp per jar.
• Set the remaining Jell-O aside at room temperature and place the jars in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours until just set.
• When 2 hours is up, add nearly all of the Cool Whip to the Jell-O that wasn't chilled, leaving about 6 tbsp of Cool Whip aside for topping the jars.
• Pour the Jell-O mousse into the jars on top of the set Jell-O, leaving just a bit of room on the top for the remaining whipped topping to be added later.
• Place the jars back in the fridge and let set for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, add the remaining Cool Whip to the tops of the jars by dolloping on with a spoon or using a piping bag.
• Garnish with fresh fruit if desired and serve.

CHILLY LEPRECHAUN PARFAITS

Steps:

• Using 4 parfait or cocktail glasses, pour half a shot of creme de menthe in each glass.
• Top with scoops of ice cream, then drizzle another half a shot per glass, over the ice cream.
• Garnish each with whipped cream if using, the chocolate mint candy and fresh mint sprigs. Enjoy!
• *We usually use more creme de menthe, like 2 shots per glass instead of one, but use your own judgment*.
