1. Crush half of the Mother’s Springtime Buddies Cookies. Set aside both the crushed cookies and the remaining whole cookies for garnish.
2. Begin by adding a layer of lemon curd or pudding to fill the bottom third of each serving cup.
3. Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the lemon curd, matching the thickness of the curd layer.
4. Sprinkle a layer of sliced or small berries over the whipped cream.
5. Add 2 tablespoons of crushed cookies over the berries.
6. Garnish each parfait with whole Mother’s Springtime Buddies Cookies on top.
7. Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator until ready to serve, ensuring they stay fresh and the layers set nicely.

Chef's Notes

1. For an even more vibrant flavor, mix a little lemon zest into the whipped cream.
2. When layering, gently tap the cup on the counter to settle the layers for a neater presentation.
3. To keep the berries fresh, assemble the parfaits no more than a few hours before serving.
4. Experiment with different berry combinations to tailor the parfait to your taste or to what’s in season.
5. Lemon curd and lemon pudding both yield great results, confidently use whatever you have access to.
