One sunny afternoon, while exploring the vibrant Rainbow Glen, I stumbled upon a lively gathering of Rainbow Goblins. They were celebrating the blooming of the moonpetal flowers, their laughter echoing through the air like a chorus of wind chimes.  I was immediately drawn to their vibrant energy and infectious joy.

A friendly goblin named Spark noticed my curiosity and invited me to join their festivities.  “Welcome, Merkle!” she exclaimed, her hair a cascade of rainbow hues. “We’re celebrating the gifts of the Earth Mother with a feast of colorful delights.  Come, join us!”

Spark presented me with a beautiful parfait, its layers a mesmerizing swirl of green and white, dotted with ruby-red raspberries and a sprinkle of shimmering granola.  I took a bite, and my taste buds were instantly enchanted. The creamy pistachio pudding, the crunch of pistachios and granola, the sweetness of the raspberry jam – it was an explosion of textures and flavors that danced on my tongue.

“We call it the ‘Razzy Pistachio Parfait,’” Spark explained with a grin. “It’s a celebration of the rainbow, a reminder that life is meant to be savored in all its vibrant hues.”

As I enjoyed the parfait, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of joyful connection to the Rainbow Goblins and their appreciation for the simple pleasures of life. I asked Spark to share the recipe with me, eager to recreate this magical dessert for my fellow goblins and human friends.

And now, dear readers, I’m delighted to pass this recipe on to you. May it bring a touch of rainbow magic to your table and inspire you to embrace the vibrant spirit of the Rainbow Goblins!
