We have been blessed with the most beautiful week of sunshine and low humidity in the South and I have been really enjoying a lot of patio time
Superboy’s 11th birthday was Tuesday {how did he get so old???}
He and his brother Big E have birthdays 4 days apart
They both had already had birthday parties with ice cream cakes
I wanted to serve a special dessert
that was different than cake and ice cream
and thought this cool and creamy cheesecake parfait might be a hit
Crumble 2 cookies in the bottom of each glass or jar
Just smoosh them quickly with your fingers
The moisture from the cheesecake will soften them
Mix the cream cheese, lemon curd, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla together
When it is well combined
Fold in the Cool Whip
Lick your fingers and the spoons…
all good chefs taste their food you know
👩🏻🍳
Divide mixture evenly between glasses and push it down
Smooth out the tops and clean glass rims with a damp paper towel
Top with berries, crumbled cookies or lemon zest
In no time at all you’ll be back outside!
This is a great recipe for all the upcoming summer events
Make them ahead of time and serving is a breeze!
You could even make these in sturdy paper cups for easy clean up…
and with red and blue berries
you’re all set for Memorial Day and 4th of July!
