Thank you DuClaw Brewing for sponsoring this post and sending me the DuClaw Gose O’s. All opinions and the parfait recipe are my own.
Welcome to the April edition of “Cooking with Beer”! Each month DuClaw Brewing sends me a beer and a friend and I create a recipe. It’s a fun time to think outside the box and try a new beer and new food. This month’s beer is “DuClaw Gose O’s”, a gose beer with a slight sourness and a hint of cantaloupe and salt. I have to confess that it reminds me a bit of a jolly rancher (this is a good thing – sweet and tart at the same time.) My mine immediately jumped to summer picnics and jello salad. What? I’m from Wisconsin and I’m Lutheran. EVERYTHING is celebrated with a jello salad. But instead of creating a church picnic jello (which I’m temped to still do), I came up with a lovely jello parfait.
This recipe is crazy simple. The only hard part is that you have to let it cool between layers. I searched for the Jello melon flavor, but had to settle with peach. I think plain jello, pineapple or lime would also work. I’m also pretty sure that if you just made the beer jello and mixed in fruit, cool whip and mini marshmallows, you’d also have a pretty amazing “salad”. Trust me, search “church picnic jello” and you’ll see. Just replace the water with beer…
