Instructions

Dissolve Gelatin: In a medium bowl, combine the lime gelatin with boiling water and stir until completely dissolved. Add the cold water and mix well. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature to prevent melting the whipped cream layer.
Set First Layer: Pour a thin layer of the cooled gelatin mixture into the bottom of each parfait glass. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes until the gelatin is just set but still slightly wobbly, creating a perfect base.
Prepare Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
Add Whipped Cream Layer: Spoon or pipe a layer of the whipped cream over the set gelatin layer evenly, adding a creamy contrast.
Build Layers: Repeat alternating layers of gelatin and whipped cream in each glass until filled, finishing with a whipped cream layer on top. This layering builds a beautiful and tasty parfait.
Add Toppings and Serve: Garnish the top layer with green sprinkles, lime zest, or crushed green candy as desired. Serve the parfaits chilled for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Ensure the gelatin mixture is cooled before adding whipped cream to prevent melting.
Use freshly whipped cream for the best texture and taste.
Chill parfaits thoroughly before serving to allow proper setting of layers.
Optional toppings add visual appeal and a burst of flavor.
