Mascarpone Parfait with Citrus Salad

• 8 vanilla or plain meringue cookies
• 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 large orange
• 1 ruby grapefruit
• Zest of 1 lime
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, plus sprigs for garnishing

1. Put the cookies into a food storage bag and crush them with a rolling pin or the back of a pan.
2. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, mix together the mascarpone and 1 tablespoon of the honey.
4. Set this aside also as you make the citrus salad.
5. Slice the top and bottom off the orange and grapefruit so that the fruit sits upright.
6. Remove the peel by slicing around the flesh, cutting deep enough to remove the outer membrane along with the peel.
7. Cut the segments away from the membrane and transfer to a bowl.
8. Squeeze a little of the juice from the remains of the orange and grapefruit over the segments.
9. Stir in the lime zest, remaining tablespoon of honey, and mint.
10. To assemble the parfaits, divide the crushed meringue cookies among 4 tall, narrow glasses or ice cream dishes.
11. Put 1/4 cup of the mascarpone on top of the cookies in each glass, followed by one fourth of the citrus salad.
12. Garnish with a mint sprig and serve immediately.
