Colorful Christmas Parfait

 

by Kara Kimbrough ​

 

1 cup crumbled graham crackers

2 tablespoons softened butter or margarine (or non-fat margarine)

2 teaspoons sugar or sugar substitute

2 cups cranberry sauce, cooled 

2 cups Cool Whip

2 drops green food coloring

 

Very gently fold the green food coloring into the Cool Whip twice and set aside. 

​

Be careful, since Cool Whip will curdle with the food coloring.

   

If you use fresh cream, you won’t have this problem, but you will have the calories. In a wine goblet or pretty parfait glass, layer 2 tablespoons of graham crackers, then a half cup of cooled cranberry sauce, and top with one-fourth of the green Cool Whip.
