Do You Love A Great Dessert?

Who doesn’t love dessert? This one is so good, they’ll come back for seconds!

This parfait requires no baking and that makes it perfect for summer. Nothing says summer more than lemons.

When Life Hands You Lemons…

As the old saying goes, you make lemonade. And that’s the secret to the wonderfully tart flavor of this parfait.

This was a trick I discovered when I found the recipe for my Lemonade Squares. In fact, the lemon filling for those squares gets repurposed in this dessert parfait.

The tart lemon is offset by sweetened whipped cream or if you don’t want to bother making your own whipped cream, use commercial whipped topping. I used the stuff in the tub for convenience sake, but it still tastes marvelous.

Plain or Fancy

This lemon parfait is great as a simple family dessert or it can be “fancied” up for company.

When it’s just the family, the lemon filling can merely be spooned into a dish with a dollop of whipped cream on top. To dress this up for guests, you can do it in layers of filling and cream in an old-fashioned glass or stemless wine glass.

Your guests will think you fussed, and only you will know you didn’t.

    The minute I saw the lemon my mouth started watering. I love easy desserts and for a hot summer night this would finish up a nice dinner perfectly. I suppose you could do the same with lime or grapefruit. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend.

      You sure could do it with those! As long as you can find the concentrates, because that’s what is responsible for the flavor. I just bought some limeade today just for this!

    I love that you re-purposed the lemon filling! That is such a great idea, these look so amazing!
