Raspberry & Lime Parfaits (Paleo and Low Carb)

July 18, 2014 By Karen Sorenson

This content will be shown before all post

Raspberries are in season right now in South Carolina so when the raspberries showed up in my CSA I wanted to make an easy summer dessert that was light and refreshing.  Earlier this year I made yummy Lemon Meringue Cookies made with Lemon Curd so naturally I needed to make a Lime Curd this summer.  I was also able to reduce the carbs by using Lime Essential Oil so it’s basically a delicious fat bomb full of health fats from egg yolks and butter/ghee.

Of course it is possibly to make it without the essential oils by replacing the Lime EO and water with another 1/4 cup of lime juice.
