Best 5 Creamy Lemon Parfait Recipes

CREAMY LEMON PARFAIT

Steps:

• combine cream cheese sugar and salt in a bowl.
• beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
• add heavy cream and beat on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• increase the speed to medium and beat until soft peaks form.
• add lemon juice and zest and stir to blend.
• in 4 wine glasses or parfait bowls layer bottoms with berries, top with cream, layer with more berries.
• top each glass with a dollop of cream and garnish with mint.

LEMON BLUEBERRY PARFAIT

Steps:

• Combine blueberries and blueberry preserves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until blueberries start to soften and pop, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool for 15 to 20 minutes (sauce will slightly thicken).
• Beat cream in a large chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add vanilla extract and sugar gradually, continuing to beat on low speed until soft peaks form. Slowly increase speed to high as cream starts to firm up. Beat until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl one time during mixing.
• Spoon equal layers of lemon curd, followed by blueberry sauce, and whipped cream in small dessert glasses. Repeat this layering one more time, and garnish with fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint.
• Move glasses to the fridge, and chill for 30 minutes or longer.

LEMON PARFAIT

Steps:

• Layer the lemon curd with scoops of lemon buttermilk sherbet, lemon sorbet, and rich lemon ice cream in two tall glasses. Sprinkle with the diced candied lemon rind. Serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY LEMON PARFAITS

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine strawberries and sugar. Process for 20-30 seconds or until the berries are coarsely chopped. Divide half of the mixture into four parfait glasses. Top with yogurt and remaining berries.

LEMON MERINGUE PARFAIT

Steps:

• Line a 20cm round tin, preferably loose-based, with cling film, using more than one piece if necessary to cover the bottom and up the sides, and pop in the freezer.
• Roughly break up the meringues with your fingers into a bowl, aiming for nothing bigger than a golf ball.
• Put the cream and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until starting to stiffen. Stop when it looks floppy, like Greek yogurt.
• Grate over the lemon zest and sprinkle over the gin and meringue rubble. Use a large spoon or spatula to fold the cream up, over and round, until just combined.
• Stir the lemon curd so it's gloopy rather than firm; if it remains too thick, dilute with a tsp of gin. Dollop over the surface of the cream. Take your spoon and fold it in, turning the bowl as you do so - no more than a dozen folds, so the curd forms streaks. Spoon gently into the tin and freeze for at least four hours. Once firm, cover with cling film.
• About 10-20 mins before serving, remove the parfait from the freezer, invert onto a plate, peel away the cling film, and return right-side-up, at room temperature. Serve in wedges with lemon curd drizzled over and the fruit on the side.
