Sugar-free pudding makes a great dessert for my family. This version is somewhat embellished with the graham cracker base, but still relatively low-cal in the grand scheme of things! PREP time includes chill time. COOK time is for the raspberry coulis.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon *macadamia nuts or pecans, finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons *butter, melted
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

How To Make raspberry lemon parfait with blueberries

  • Step 1
    To make coulis - simmer raspberries in 1/2 - 3/4 cup water until very soft and have lost their color. Crush with a spoon as they cook. Strain and discard seeds and remaining mass. Put strained raspberry liquid back into the pot with sugar. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the liquid reduces and thickens. Cool.
  • Step 2
    To make crumbs - Mix graham cracker crumbs, chopped nuts, and melted butter until well blended. *To save calories, the butter and nuts may be omitted.
  • Step 3
    Make pudding according to package directions.
  • Step 4
    Divide half of the buttery graham cracker crumbs into 4 glasses or serving dishes. Pour about 1/4 cup of pudding over the crumbs, then 1/4 of the blueberries. Make another layer with the rest of the crumbs and the rest of the pudding.
  • Step 5
    Just before serving, whip the cream, if it isn't the kind in the aerosol container!
  • Step 6
    Gently pour 1/4 of the raspberry coulis on top of each parfait.
  • Step 7
    Put a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each pudding and sprinkle chocolate curls over the top of the whipped cream.
