Fruit Parfait made with Crumbled Gluten Free Cookies is a delicious summertime dessert. So simple.

This Cookie Crumble Fruit Parfait started out as a mistake, but it's really tasty.

What's a Fruit Parfait?

A Fruit Parfait is a dessert alternates whipped cream with fruit, and in this recipe, with crumbled shortbread cookies. Summer is the best time to make it because all the fruit is fresh and in-season. I made a serendipity dessert (er...read mistake!), Gluten Free Cookie Crumble Fruit Parfait, and it has become one of my favorite summertime desserts.

My Oops!

How did it happen? Some time ago, when I made my Gluten Free Coconut Cream Pie, I wanted to use my Gluten Free Shortbread Cookies recipe in it. When I looked for it, I found I had never posted the recipe on our site, and I decided to make some. But I put the bar cookies in a pan that was too big for the recipe and they were too thin to cut and easily remove from the pan. When I took them out, I saw they were too crumbly. Not being one to waste a good cookie, I crumbled them and put them with fresh fruit and whipped cream. (Now that I know I need to avoid dairy, I make them with Coconut Whipped Cream.)

The result? Gluten Free Cookie Crumble Fruit Parfait! It was so good. And the cookies only have three ingredients. Gluten free and so delicious.

Delish, right?

What do you think? Does it look worth eating? It was so scrumptious! I know you're gonna wanna eat this.

What You Need

To make the whipped cream, you need a mixer. The cookie requires measuring cups and spoons, an electric mixer, and a cake pan (9x12) or a small baking sheet. Get yourself some beautiful parfait glasses, too!
