This was from our local paper around the 4th of July, for a holiday snack. It was easy and delicious! You could probably sub. homemade granola for the pecan sandies and it would still be great. The prep time is a guess as I don't remember how long it took.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 ounces fresh strawberries (for about 1 C chopped)
1/4 cup sugar
4 ounces store-bought pecan sandies, see note (about 8 cookies, for 1 C crumbs)
1/2 cup Cool Whip Lite
4 teaspoons Cool Whip Lite (to garnish)
1/2 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
8 ounces about 1 c fresh blueberries

Directions

1
Cap strawberries, cut into bite-size pieces and place them in small mixing bowl.
2
Sprinkle sugar over berries and stir. Use spoon to crush berries slightly so they will release juice. Set aside.
3
Place cookies in zipper-top plastic bag and use rolling pin to crush them finely. Set aside.
4
In small bowl or 2-cup measure, stir together 1/2 C of whipped topping and yogurt until well blended. Set aside.
5
Divide cookie crumbs evenly in bottom of 4 parfait glasses or other dessert dishes (that hold at least 1 cup).
6
Spoon strawberry mixture evenly over crumbs.
7
Spoon yogurt mixture evenly over strawberries.
8
Divide blueberries evenly, and scatter them over yogurt mixture in each dish.
9
The dishes may be served at once or covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated until ready to serve, up to 3 hours.
10
Just before serving, dollop 1 tsp of whipped topping on top of each dish as a garnish.
11
Note: Plain shortbread cookies, vanilla wafers or butter cookies may be substituted for the pecan sandies.

A nice fruit parfait for an afternoon snack! I used almond granola instead of the pecan sandies. This recipe makes a pretty item for any red, white and blue event. Prepared for 2008 Election Eats Event.

This is a true keeper for my recipe file! I made these for breakfast on the 4th of July this year, and my WHOLE family loved them. I ended up using regular Lorna Doone shortbread cookies because my local grocery store didn't have any Pecan Sandies cookies. At first, I was disappointed because I really, really like Pecan Sandies. But I have to admit that the plain shortbread worked perfectly well for this recipe. Otherwise, I followed the recipe without any other adjustments or changes---and it was EXCELLENT. As in the original photo, I served them in shrimp cocktail glasses which made a nice presentation---a great way to see all those colorful layers! And crystal, of course, always seems to add a bit of elegance to an otherwise routine meal. My husband has even requested this for breakfast again. And this recipe is so simple to prepare that my 9 year-old daughter had no difficult whatsoever in helping to prepare the parfaits. This is one recipe I know I'll make again and again and again and....

This is not only a simple and delicious parfait, it also makes a lovely presentation. So simple to put together, nothing to cook. I used crushed lemon biscotti in place of the pecan sandies for the cookie layer. I will, I am sure, make this a lot over the upcoming summer months. Thank you, WI Cheesehead!
