Lemon Parfait Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Lemon Cream

    In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture until combined.

  2. 2

    Combine with Yogurt

    Add Greek yogurt and vanilla extract to the lemon cream and gently fold until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Layer the Parfait

    In serving glasses, layer the lemon cream mixture with graham cracker crumbs. Start with a layer of graham cracker crumbs, then add a layer of the lemon cream, and repeat until glasses are filled.

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 1 hour to set. Before serving, top with fresh berries.
