Coconut Mousse Parfait

Submitted by Busters friend

"Smooth, cool, rich & delicious. Adapted from Taste of Thai. Most of cook time is 2 hours chilling. I prefer mine smooth but the original recipe did suggest layering this with granola as well. We use mixtures of whatever fruits we have in the house & haven't gone wrong yet. We also like toasted coconut sprinkled on top."
