Patriotic Berry Parfait

I wanted a fruity but rich dessert to serve at a Fourth of July barbecue. I have a big family and always make dishes with many servings. I knew the size of this recipe would fill the glass dish to the brim. So instead of layering the vanilla wafer cookies in the recipe, I just served them on the side.
