Lemon blueberry parfaits are perfect for spring or as a light Easter dessert. Make as one big trifle or as individual parfaits for a fun single serve dessert. The angel food cake, lemon filling, and blueberries are such a wonderful mix of textures and flavors.
Layers of creamy lemon goodness, angel food cake and blueberries makes for a delicious trifle or parfait. This recipe is one of our favorites during the spring, but it is great any time of the year.
Use fresh berries or frozen, make the cake or buy one. No matter how you do it, you should do yourself a favor and make these yummy treats today!
I am going to give credit for this recipe to Sharadan, because she is the one that brought it into my life. To be completely fair though, I actually got the recipe from her mother-in-law.
Sharadan had mentioned it was one of her favorites and I was planning a couple’s shower for her and Sam.
We were so excited for the arrival of baby K and I couldn’t wait to spoil them with a circus shower. So, I contacted Liz and got the recipe from her.
For that party, I made it in individual parfait cups and topped it with animal crackers. They were so cute and really good!

I must have gotten the recipe from Liz while we were on the phone. I have scoured my emails and texts and couldn’t find it in either.
So, if this isn’t Liz’s recipe exactly, it is darn close. I made it as one big trifle for our Easter open house and both Sam and Sharadan recognized it immediately. It is a perfect spring or summer dessert.
Sam said it is one of the rare desserts that is refreshing, and I have to agree. It is light and bright and fun!

Hi Carlee, I just said this on Michele's post and now I'm going to repeat it on yours – I've got blueberries to use so Im pinning this for sure! It sounds so refreshing!
There are so many fun blueberry recipes, it is hard to choose. I hope you and your gang have a happy Easter!
I am so jealous about the blueberry picking! I don't know of anywhere local to do that. My dad had tried to plant a bush a time or two but has never had any luck.
Carlee, that looks like the perfect Spring dessert! I've always wanted to make a trifle. I actually bought a trifle bowl and it is still sitting there waiting to be used. This will be a great addition to my Easter brunch!
You really should make a trifle soon. The best thing about a trifle is you can turn you failed baking project (not that something like that would ever happen) into something delicious and beautiful anyway! If a cake sticks to the pan or cracks while being dumped, it still makes a beautiful trifle.
This sounds just heavenly! YUM!
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
It is a nice, bright dessert.
Wow Carlee this looks and sounds so amazing.
TFS this recipe with us at Cooking and Crafting with J & J.
Enjoy the rest of the week.

It is so easy and so good, perfect for a party! Thanks so much, Julie.
I thought I commented already, Carlee, so forgive me if I commented twice! I LOVE trifle and though this looks gorge, I can just see how cute they'd be with the animal crackers in little cups! Yum! And Happy THrowback Thursday!
That's ok, it was my fault. I've been at a conference for work the past few days and with the long days I haven't had a chance to manage the blog much. Time for a lot of catch up! Thank you so much!
Carlee, this looks absolutely scrumptious!! YUm! Happy Throwback Thursday!
Happy Throwback Thursday to you as well!
This looks absolutely delightful! I love the combination of lemon and blueberries. Pinned!
Thank you, it is such a great spring time dessert. It is so fresh and bright!
Thank you so much! Have a great weekend!
Wow, now that's a parfait all right!
Thanks!
