Summer is finally here and school is officially out. So, bring on the vacation, bonding and eatable delights stemmed from the glowing sun. After all, this is the best time of year to enjoy no bake recipes, fresh fruits and our favorite Lemon NILLA Wafers. These are by far my weakness when it comes to the sweets department.
Paired with a bit of fresh whipped cream and berries, NILLA makes the most delicious desserts imaginable. With that, I am so excited to share our Lemon Berry Parfait recipe. It is so simple and perfect for summer get-togethers, after pool snacks and even for breakfast!
You start off by washing and draining your favorite berries. We like to use raspberries and blueberries for this but strawberries or blackberries would also work in any combination. Add your selections to a bowl and mix with a touch of granulated sugar. To be honest, this step can be left out but we find it brings out the natural flavors and pairs well with the sweet of the NILLA Wafers and whipped topping.
Then, we combine together a bit of heavy cream and a few tablespoons of powered sugar for sweetness. Mix thoroughly in a cold bowl with an electric mixer till peeks form. This is our go to for all things whipped topping. It is easy to make, light in the sugar department and goes well with everything from fresh strawberries to pie.
Last but not least, it’s all about the layers. I like to place NILLA Wafers on the bottom, whipped cream second and then add a sprinkle of berries. All you have to do is repeat the layering steps until you have the perfect size of parfait for you.
