(55,007 posts)box of plain vanilla meringues from Trader Joes
3 - 4 small boxes fresh raspberries frozen for a few hours, or bagged frozen (1-2 lbs?)
pint of heavy whipped cream, whipped with a touch of sugar and vanilla (could probably use canned or fake frozen stuff)
crunch meringues into smallish chunks (I use side of meat tenderizing mallet)
layer three times (in a nice clear bowl or trifle dish if you have one, but it doesn't really matter) start with small amount of whipped cream, then berries, then meringue chunks. finish with a 4th layer of whipped cream and top with a few reserved berries
refrigerate several hours to overnight until raspberries thaw
could probably do individual parfaits in nice wine glasses too
made this twice in the last week, everybody wants seconds. probably good with other fruits - planning to try with strawberries or blueberries soon!
