Blackberry Parfaits


Summer is finally here and this little recipe is sure to be a hit. It's light, it's refreashing and it tastes divine! The best part however is how easy and quick it is to whip up.

Blackberry Parfaits
2 cups fresh, ripe blackberries, rinsed and drained
1/4 Cup sugar, that is if you can restrain yourself. I merely start with a fourth and then depending on the tartness of the berry, add a bit more, ok maybe quite a bit more. You can never add to much sugar, right?
4 dry crunchy lemon cookies, crumbled
2 cups vanilla frozen yogurt.

Combine blackberries and sugar; let stand 15 minutes. Layer berries, cookie crumbs and frozen yogurt in glasses. Serve immediately. Serves 4
