Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1.5 cups granola
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and fluffy.
Add the Greek yogurt, heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until well-combined and velvety smooth. Set this lemon cream aside.
To assemble the parfaits, start by layering 2 tablespoons of granola at the bottom of each serving glass.
Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the lemon cream over the granola, spreading it evenly.
Add a layer of fresh blueberries (about 2 tablespoons per glass) over the lemon cream.
Repeat the layers (granola, lemon cream, and blueberries) until the glasses are filled to your desired height, ending with a layer of blueberries on top.
Optionally, drizzle honey over the top layer of blueberries for added sweetness.
Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving, or serve immediately for a quick and delightful treat.
