Ingredients:
- 3 packets lemon gelatin
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 8 kiwi fruits
- 3 cups whipped topping
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Dissolve Gelatin: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the lemon gelatin in boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. |
| 2 | Add Lemon Zest: Once the gelatin is dissolved, stir in the grated lemon peel. Allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator until it reaches the consistency of unbeaten egg white. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes. |
| 3 | Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping into the chilled gelatin mixture until well combined. Set aside. |
| 4 | Prepare Kiwi Fruits: Cut one kiwi fruit into 8 thin slices for garnish. Chop the remaining two kiwi fruits into small pieces. |
| 5 | Assemble Parfaits: In parfait glasses or any serving glasses of your choice, alternate layers of the prepared gelatin mixture and the chopped kiwi fruit pieces. Repeat until each glass is filled to the top. |
| 6 | Chill: Place the assembled parfaits in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the parfait to set. |
| 7 | Garnish: Before serving, garnish each parfait with a slice of kiwi fruit on top for an extra burst of freshness and visual appeal. |
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve chilled for the best taste experience.
