Gluten-Free Ricotta Parfaits

Slim shot glasses make for a perfectly sophisticated and tiny serving of this lower-fat, gluten-free and high fun dessert recipe.

Serve these gluten-free parfaits at your next dinner party or as a more grown up birthday dessert.

For flawless looking parfaits, I used a pastry bag with a wide circular tip to place the ricotta into the glasses, but a Ziploc bag with the corner cut out will do just as good of a job.

Ingredients:

1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup finely chopped strawberries

1/2 cup crushed gluten-free cookies of your choice

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix ricotta, sugar and vanilla until combined.

Layer ricotta mixture, cookies and strawberries ending with the strawberries in a tall, slim shot glass.

Keep refrigerated until serving.
