LEMON BLACKBERRY CHEESECAKE PARFAIT

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest plus 1/2 cup lemon juice
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest plus 3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups lightly packed cubed angel food cake (a little more than 1/2 cake)
1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries

Steps:

  • For the lemon curd: Combine the granulated sugar, butter, lemon zest and juice and egg in a large microwave-safe bowl (the mixture will bubble and triple in volume during cooking). Microwave on high in 1-minute intervals, stopping to remove the bowl and stir well after each interval. Continue until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 6 minutes. Strain into a clean bowl, cover the surface with plastic wrap and cool in the refrigerator (the curd will continue to thicken as it cools).
  • For the lemon cheesecake layer: Combine the cream cheese, cream, confectioner's sugar, lemon zest and juice and extract in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it holds stiff peaks. If the cream cheese isn't very soft, you may have to whip for up to 5 minutes to get the lumps out. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the parfait: Divide half of the cake among six 2-cup mason jars or glasses (1/2 cup of cake per jar). Top with about half of the cream cheese mixture (about 1/4 cup) followed by all of the lemon curd. Divide the remaining cake, followed by the cream cheese mixture, among the jars. Top with the blackberries. Eat immediately or refrigerate up to 4 hours.

Provided by Monica | Nourish + Fete

Categories     American

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces cream cheese ((at room temperature))
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup lemon curd ((store-bought or try it homemade!))
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1-2 drops yellow food coloring ((optional))
3 graham crackers ((crushed to fine crumbs))
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon butter ((melted))

Steps:

  • Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a second bowl and set aside.
  • Add cream cheese and powdered sugar to the original mixing bowl. Again using the hand or stand mixer, beat them together until smoothly combined and slightly fluffy. Add the lemon curd, juice, and zest. Beat for about 30 seconds on medium, then for 2-3 minutes on high speed, until mixture is smooth. If using food coloring to brighten the yellow, beat it in now.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the whipped cream, and mix just until no streaks remain. Set aside.
  • To make the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Divide evenly among serving dishes, then top with the mousse. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until ready to serve. Garnish as desired with additional whipped cream, lemon zest, or fresh berries.
