Granny's Breakfast Parfaits

 

Muesli" layer:

1½ cups milk
½ cup sugar
½ cup lemon juice
2½ cups rolled oats

Fruit Layer:

4 cups of several types of fresh fruit, cut into ¼" dice (e.g., mango, kiwi, strawberries, seedless grapes, pears, apples, peaches, blueberries, cherries, raspberries, etc.)

 

Whipped cream layer:

3 cups whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks

Garnish:

12 small perfect fruits, e.g., reaspberries, strawberry halves

12 mint leaves

Combine milk, sugar, lemon juice and oats. Mix well and soak overnight.

In the morning, dice fruit (this should not be done in advance). Layer fruit, oatmeal and whipped cream in a champagne flute. Repeat, ending with whipped cream. Garnish with fruit and mint. Serve with iced tea spoons -- they are good to the very last bite!

A fool always finds some greater fool to admire him.
