How to Make a Mason Jar Berry Shortcake Parfait

Ingredients

The ingredients are fairly simple. In addition to mason jars, this is all you need:

• Cut up Strawberries
• Blueberries
• Shortcake
• Whipped Cream
• Graham Crackers

Directions

1. In your clean mason jar, crumble up the shortcake (of your choice) into the bottom quarter of the jar
2. Next, layer the cut up strawberries. I like making nice little bite sized pieces
3. Put a layer of whipped cream on top of the strawberries
4. Then do another thinner layer of the crumbled up shortcake
5. Add a layer of blueberries
6. Give a final squirt of whipped cream on top, don’t be shy!
7. For the finishing touch, crumble some graham crackers over the top of the whipped cream. This gives a yummy crunch and texture to your berry shortcake parfait.
8. Finally, be prepared to receive lots of compliments because your dessert looks like it should be sitting in a dessert case at a bakery or cafe.
