Fruit Parfaits

My kids are always begging for dessert.  And I don’t like giving it to them more than once a week or so.  Sometimes, I am able to talk them into a piece of fruit for dessert…but not often.

I figured, if I could make the fruit look fun, then they might just buy it for dessert.  It’s not 100% healthy, but it’s way better than most typical desserts.

Plus you could easily turn this into a fun breakfast fruit parfait too!

Fruit Parfaits

4 waffle cones

4 clear plastic cups

2 cups of mixed berries, washed and drained

1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

whipped cream

coconut

Wash and dry berries, cutting into bite sized pieces.  Place a waffle cone into each cup.  Spoon in 1/8 cup of vanilla ice cream in the bottom of each cone, top with 1/2 cup berries, whipped cream, and coconut.  EAT!

For breakfast: replace ice cream with vanilla yogurt.  The addition of nuts would add some nice protein for breakfast.
