My daughter and I enjoyed these strawberry parfaits immediately so we topped them with extra strawberries.

But you can totally seal them with the lid and save them for later. They will stay fresh for several days in the refrigerator — if you can wait that long to eat them!

Single-serve desserts are not only convenient, but they can be served in so many different ways. Here are a few ideas for mason jar desserts.

  • For an outdoor barbecue, fill a large bucket with ice and place all the strawberry parfaits in mason jars in the bucket with plastic spoons tied around the mason jar lid. You could even add a cute tag.
  • Make several different varieties of the parfaits including, blueberry, raspberry or cherry.
  • For an indoor dinner, use the mini mason jars with name tags at each place setting.
