Lemon Parfait (p. 95)

¾ cup sugar

3 eggs

¼  cup butter

1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh is always best, but not necessary)

1 lemon, zested (approx. 2 tbsp.)

1 recipe Whipped Cream (p.)

1 recipe Vanilla crust (p.)

In a small sauce pan, whisk together sugar and eggs. Then add the butter, lemon juice and lemon zest.  Heat over medium until sauce starts to thicken and come together- about 8-10 minutes, then cool completely. Layer starting with your lemon curd, then whipped cream, the repeat if needed. Ending with the whipped cream. Top with the vanilla crust.

Vanilla Crust (p.121)

2 cups vanilla wafer cookies, crushed

2 tbsp. sugar

6-7 tbsp. melted butter

Mix together until a thick paste forms. crumble on top of Lemon Parfait.

Happy Dessert Making!
