Ingredients
Parfait Layers
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 cup lemon yogurt
- 1 cup crushed cookies (vanilla cookies or graham crackers recommended)
- ½ cup fresh berries (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Prepare the lemon cream mixture: In a mixing bowl, gently fold together the whipped topping and lemon yogurt until smooth and well combined, creating a light and creamy filling.
- Layer the crushed cookies: Spoon a layer of crushed cookies evenly into the bottom of each serving glass, providing a crunchy base.
- Add the lemon cream layer: Add a layer of the lemon cream mixture on top of the cookie layer in each glass, spreading it evenly.
- Repeat layering: Repeat the layering process by adding another layer of crushed cookies followed by the lemon cream mixture, building the parfait to the top of the glass.
- Top with berries and zest: Finish the parfait by garnishing with fresh berries and sprinkling lemon zest on top for a burst of flavor and color.
- Chill or serve: Serve the parfaits immediately for a soft texture or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes if a firmer consistency is desired.
Notes
- For the cookie layer, vanilla cookies or graham crackers work best for complementing the lemon flavor.
- Chilling the parfait for 30 minutes enhances firmness and melds the flavors.
- Add fresh fruit such as raspberries or blueberries for extra flavor and visual appeal.
