These individual Raspberry and Rose Meringue Parfaits are the perfect Valentine’s Day treat! Easy to make, super cute and a fantastic dessert to make for a loved one this Valentine’s Day!
Oh Valentine’s Day, you can be so fussy. People put a lot of pressure on Valentine’s Day, and you know what I say, don’t worry about it and keep it easy! Why stress about making super complicated desserts when you should be spending time with the person you love? That’s where these super easy Raspberry and Rose Meringue Parfaits come it!
A FUSS FREE VALENTINE’S DAY DESSERT
So this recipe can be super easy. All you need to do is buy some meringues (or make these Meringue Heart Cookies, this makes the recipe a little bit more involved!), layer them in a glass with some fresh raspberries and light rose flavored whipped mascarpone cream. The recipe feels super impressive and your special someone will love them
IS THIS AN ETON MESS?
You might look at these Raspberry and Rose Meringue Parfaits and think, “Isn’t this an Eton Mess?” You’re right, these parfaits are basically the traditional English dessert, which has been around since at least the 1890s. The biggest difference is that an Eton Mess traditionally is served with strawberries and you break up the meringues. Call it what you want, this dessert is delicious and makes for a fun Valentine’s Day dessert!
2019 GOOD COOKIE FOOD BLOGGERS VALENTINE’S DAY EVENT
This year for Valentine’s Day not only am I sharing these Raspberry and Rose Meringue Parfaits, but I’m also participating in July Daly’s (of TheLittle Kitchen’s 2019 Good Cookie Food Bloggers Valentine’s Event!
This is the third year that Julie has organized the event and the goal is to help make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer.
Cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S.. There are currently 40,000 children in the U.S. Actively fighting cancer and I honestly can’t wrap my head around their and their family’s struggle. With less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute’s budget going to all childhood cancer combined, I knew it was important for me to participate in Julie’s fundraiser.
Help us make a difference by donating to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer! Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Because these three companies: Dixie Crystals, Mediavine and OXO have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000, which we hit. Even though we met our goal, every dollar helps and you can still donate to make an even bigger difference!
