Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1 tablespoon tequila
  • 1 tablespoon orange-flavored liqueur
  • 2 teaspoons grated lime peel
  • 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup whipping cream, whipped
  • 1 quart (4 cups) fresh strawberries, sliced

Steps

  • 1
    In medium saucepan, combine lime juice and orange juice. Sprinkle gelatin over top; let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat over low heat until clear and dissolved, stirring occasionally. Cool 5 minutes.
  • 2
    Add tequila, liqueur, lime peel and condensed milk to gelatin mixture; mix well. Fold in whipped cream.
  • 3
    Divide one-third of the strawberries among individual 10-oz. parfait glasses. Top with half of the tequila mixture. Top with half of the remaining strawberries and all of the remaining tequila mixture. Top with remaining strawberries. Cover glasses with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you prefer a nonalcoholic dessert, use 2 tablespoons orange juice in place of the tequila and orange liqueur.
  • tip 2
    This dessert provides nutrition and great taste, thanks to 2/3 cup strawberries per parfait. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C. They also contain antioxidants that can help maintain healthy cells.
  • tip 3
    Rub the outside rims of your glasses with a cut lime and dip each glass lightly into a plate of sugar. Top with an extra dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with grated lime peel.
