Tia Maria Parfait

Tia Maria Parfait
Oh la la! The velvety richness of a liqueur dessert, but heart healthy! Regular liqueur desserts can pack in as much saturated fat as a double cheeseburger! Ours has no saturated fat. Nada!
Yield: 4 people
Materials
- 4 tablespoons Tia Maria coffee liqueur
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups ice cream, vanilla flavor (fat-free sugar-free)
