Pipe a swirl of whipped cream on top and serve.

More About This Recipe

Need a quick and easy treat to serve at a spring or summer party? These Mini Lemon-Lime Parfaits are so bright and cheerful that they would be perfect.

In less than a half an hour you can have 12 of these tiny desserts ready to serve.

Each brightly colored yellow and green parfait is layered with vanilla wafer cookie crumbs, whipped cream, lemon and lime yogurt mousse. They are light and refreshing and make a wonderful end to any meal.

Grab the ingredients you'll need to make your parfaits.

Start by making the decadently creamy white chocolate yogurt mousse in lemon and lime flavors.

The mousse will look very pale at this point, so mix some yellow food coloring into the lemon mousse and some green and yellow coloring into the bowl of lime mousse.

Spoon the lemon and lime mousse along with the whipped cream into disposable pastry bags. This makes assembling the parfaits super fast and neat.

To assemble the parfaits start by spooning in some cookie crumbs. Pipe a layer of whipped cream over top then add a layer of lime and lemon mousse. Repeat creating another cookie crumb layer topped with whipped cream and the lemon and lime mousse.

Pipe on a swirl of whipped cream. To make the swirl look really pretty, you can add a star pastry tip to a clean pastry bag, fill it with whipped cream, and pipe on a swirl.

Your parfaits are ready to serve.
