Party Panache, Lemon Berry Cheesecake Parfaits and Giveaway Winners!
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!
The winners of the Summer Reading Giveaway are:
g Swinford, winner of Sunset Beach
and
Sara, winner of The Majorettes are Back in Town
Congratulations, I will be emailing you to get your addresses!

Please send some of that nice weather out east Jenna! Oh, and maybe a parfait or two too:@)
I’m sure the heat and humidity will be arriving soon, I’m enjoying it while I can!
Yum, Jenna! Quick and easy, and looks summer fresh.
Yes, it is all those things Carole!
Yum, and Oreo Lemon, I haven’t seen those on the store. Have a fun celebration with your grandkids.
I wonder how many Oreo flavors there are, there seems to be a new one every week!
Oh YUM! I love anything lemon, so I’ve already printed this and will pin also. Will try as soon as we get back from vacation. Thank you Jenna, love easy tasty recipes! 🍋🍋🍋🍋
Thanks Cyndi and have a great time!

Oreos are so handy!
Oh those cheesecake parfaits look fabulous and I like that they are easy! Happy birthday to both of your handsome grand boys! It has heated up today, I guess we knew it couldn’t last.
Thanks Pam, yes a very easy dessert! Yes, I’m afraid this week of perfect weather spoiled me, I have been enjoying every second!
I love these parfaits! I am a firm believer that dessert should always be served first! It is usually the prettiest part of the meal and sets the mood for everything else! Hugs!
ha ha, good idea!!
And did you put candles in these little goodies? We are going to a grand daughter’s graduation this weekend and like you about your 11 year old, I’m wondering how did it happen so quickly.
I should have, they would have definitely stood up, but by Tuesday we were all pretty much birthdayed out! Graduation, oh goodness! You must be back from Africa!
For a day and leaving this afternoon.
A great idea for quick, easy and delicious. I think I will have to try this parfait recipe for a hot summer day. I’m loving this nice weather too Jenna.
This is so easy Emily, you could put the filling in a pie crust too~
Yummy! I love lemon in the summer! 💛🍋
Me too, I have been on a big lemon kick lately!
Cute, fun desserts. I love that they are individual, especially for kids, so no “you got more than I did!”
ha ha, good point!! I love desserts that you can grab out of the fridge, no messing serving!
Happy Birthday to your sweet grands, Jenna! Those lemony parfaits look like a wonderful treat. Aren’t we thankful for the blessings in our lives that keep us going?
Yes! Thanks Kitty!
Hi Jenna, I have never heard of Lemon Oreos!! 🍋 Your dessert sounds yummy! I love easy! 💙
You could make this with any cookie or graham cracker crumbs…I swear they make a gazillion flavors of Oreos now!
We’re fans of lemon curd and cream cheese filling! Delicious mini parfaits, Happy Birthday to your grandboys. ♥
