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.

I love that this parfait can be made with fresh or frozen blackberries. It's a great way to use up extra berries.

This parfait is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the night before and it was perfect for my party the next day.

I'm not sure I would recommend this parfait to others. It's not a bad dessert, but it's not anything special either. There are better desserts out there.

I would give this parfait a 3 out of 5 stars. It's a good dessert, but it's not the best I've ever had.

Overall, I thought the parfait was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

The parfait was a bit too time-consuming to make. I would recommend simplifying the recipe or using store-bought ingredients.

The parfait was a bit too heavy for my taste. I would recommend using a lighter cream cheese or yogurt in the cheesecake filling.

The parfait was a little too tart for me. I would recommend using less lemon juice in the lemon curd.

This parfait is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the cheesecake filling and lemon curd.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but this parfait was surprisingly good. The cheesecake filling is creamy and smooth, and the lemon curd is tart without being too sour. The blackberries add a nice sweetness and texture.
