Tips
Use a fully ripe avocado for the smoothest texture and best flavor.
Fresh lime juice gives the dessert a brighter flavor than bottled juice.
Chill the parfaits thoroughly before serving.
To prevent the avocado from darkening, keep the filling covered and refrigerated.
For a sweeter dessert, add an extra tablespoon of powdered sugar.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these parfaits chilled in small dessert glasses or jars. They make an elegant finish to a dinner party and pair beautifully with fresh berries, coconut flakes, or a little extra whipped cream.
