Have you ever noticed how beautiful everything looks in a mason jar? It’s no different with food, especially with this mason jar berry shortcake parfait. In fact, you can take what is usually a pretty simple dessert, layer it in a mason jar, and voila! They have a cute Pinterest-worthy dessert to serve at any party.
Summer time calls for berries, whipped cream and shortcake. That’s why this dessert is ready for any red, white, and blue occasion you’re headed for. Plus, it’s so simple that you can top it up at the last minute if you need to.
It’s also fun and easy for the kids to help with. Who doesn’t love spraying whipped cream and chopping up graham crackers? The best part is that you don’t have to create anything from scratch if you don’t want to.

The ingredients are pretty simple. Aside from mason jars, that’s all you need:

Directions

- Then apply another thinner layer of the crumbled shortcake
