Margarita Parfait

Ingredients:

2 8-ounce containers lime-flavored yogurt
1 tablespoon triple sec
1 tablespoon tequila
1 teaspoon lime zest
8 ounces dessert topping (such as Cool Whip)
1/2 stick butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
20 Cabaret Crackers

Makes 4 servings

Preparation:

Add crackers and sugar to food processor. While running, add melted butter until you have fine cracker crumbs. Mix yogurt with triple sec, tequila, and lime zest. Fold yogurt mixture into dessert topping until well incorporated. In a parfait glass, add a spoon of yogurt filling then top with a thick layer of cracker crumbs. Repeat until glass is full. Sprinkle a pinch of lime zest on top. Garnish with a slice of lime. For fun, serve in a margarita glass with a salted rim.

Helpful hints:

Try substituting your favorite flavored yogurt for the flavor listed above and decorate with complementary fruit. For an extra special parfait, mix one flavored yogurt with half of the dessert topping and a different flavor with the remaining half. Alternate flavors with crumbs in between. To decorate with candied lemon or lime, slice the peel of the fruit into thin strips, dunk the strips into boiling water, and then roll in sugar. Let sit.
