As temperatures continue to rise to a boiling point (too early) for June, it’s time for some easy breezy, chilled, no-bake recipes.  This recipe is perfect for doing just that:  Blueberry and Limoncello Cream Parfaits !

BLUEBERRIES!

Nothing pairs with blueberries better than lemons . . . nothing!  And nothing screams lemon any better than Italian limoncello!  So I decided to create these cute little blueberry parfaits with some sweet mascarpone cheese, limoncello, and lemon curd!  Oh YUM!

Plus oh so pretty to look at . . . good food eye candy, huh?

To make these even easier and not use a hot oven, I buy a high-quality lemon pound cake . . . hey, why not?  If it’s made in my local bakery, that’s good enough for me!

Topping off these creamy, dreamy parfaits, I crumbled buttery shortbread cookies and sprinkled them all over the top for a little extra sweet texture.

Enjoy!
