Lemon Berry Parfait

Oh my goodness, we are amazing. Modesty is completely overrated when it comes to this new recipe. 
We knew that this parfait would be great simply because it is made with blueberries, lemon, and whipped cream. But we had no idea that the textures of our parfait would combine these flavors into a desert that is such perfection!
Most parfaits are made with berries and whipped cream or yogurt, but these generic parfaits tend to be one dimensional and boring. We spiced up our parfait with a delicious chilled cream sauce that adds a bright contrast to the thick whipped cream. In addition, the whipped cream was not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill desert topping. We made a fantastic lemon flavored whipped cream that brought out the acidity in the blueberries, and was the element that put this parfait over the top. 
This is a fantastic desert that will work well with any type of fruit.
