Lemon Parfaits

Category: Parfaits > Puddings

A parfait is a layered dessert placed in a clear tall glass. The layers can consist of items like cream, ice cream, gelatin, puddings, fruits, nuts, granola or yogurts. After making the lemon meringue pie, I had left over lemon pudding so I made some parfaits. These parfaits are layers of lemon pudding, cool whip, and topped with a cherry. Parfaits make easy and quick to make treats that are very eye appealing.
