Layers of creamy lemon goodness, angel food cake and blueberries makes for a delicious trifle or parfait. This recipe is one of our favorites during the spring, but it is great any time of the year. Use fresh berries or frozen, make the cake or buy one. No matter how you do it, you should do yourself a favor and make these yummy treats today!
I am going to give credit for this recipe to Sharadan, because she is the one that brought it into my life. To be completely fair though, I actually got the recipe from her mother-in-law. Sharadan had mentioned it was one of her favorites and I was planning a couple's shower for her and Sam.
We were so excited for the arrival of baby Kenley and I couldn't wait to spoil them with a circus shower. So, I contacted Liz and got the recipe from her. For that party, I made it in individual parfait cups and topped it with animal crackers. They were so cute and really good!
I must have gotten the recipe from Liz while we were on the phone. I have scoured my emails and texts and couldn't find it in either.
So, if this isn't Liz's recipe exactly, it is darn close. I made it as one big trifle for our Easter open house and both Sam and Sharadan recognized it immediately. It is a perfect spring or summer dessert.
Sam said it is one of the rare desserts that is refreshing, and I have to agree. It is light and bright and fun!

ReplyDeleteThanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
It is a nice, bright dessert. Thanks for hosting, Jess!
DeleteCarlee, that looks like the perfect Spring dessert! I've always wanted to make a trifle. I actually bought a trifle bowl and it is still sitting there waiting to be used. This will be a great addition to my Easter brunch!
ReplyDeleteYou really should make a trifle soon. The best thing about a trifle is you can turn you failed baking project (not that something like that would ever happen) into something delicious and beautiful anyway! If a cake sticks to the pan or cracks while being dumped, it still makes a beautiful trifle.
DeleteLove easy recipes like this lemon blueberry parfait. We go blueberry picking in May so I'll have to keep this on my "to try" list.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous about the blueberry picking! I don't know of anywhere local to do that. My dad had tried to plant a bush a time or two but has never had any luck.
DeleteHi Carlee, I just said this on Michele's post and now I'm going to repeat it on yours - I've got blueberries to use so Im pinning this for sure! It sounds so refreshing!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many fun blueberry recipes, it is hard to choose. I hope you and your gang have a happy Easter!
Deleteoooh, I love a lemon and blueberry combo. Delicious. Thanks for sharing on FTAF
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is always a fresh and yummy combo!
DeleteDid I just go to parfait heaven? I think so...love this combo and creamy goodness!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! Thank you!
DeleteA deliciously class flavor combination and one of my all time favorites! I love it as an individual dessert but love your idea of one big trifle too.
ReplyDeleteIt is great both ways, thank you!
DeleteI love trifle and I love these individual little parfaits. Perfect for a brunch buffet.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteWhat a great treat for entertaining! And I love all of the springtime flavors.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Val! It is bright and delicious and perfect for a warm day!
