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.
