Blueberry Lemon Parfait
Blueberry Lemon Parfait
I love having fresh fruit treats in the spring and summer. And blueberries are at the top of the list for my kids! This Blueberry Lemon Parfait makes the perfect sweet treat on a warm day. Leaving them in the fridge and letting them chill is the hardest part of this recipe. I like to make these while the kids are at school so they are ready to go once they get home. I think I might try this recipe with strawberries to make a strawberry lemonade parfait!
