LEMON-BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE PARFAITS
Pastry Chef Maggie Leung's reimagined cheesecake is super-versatile: It's three components-the creamy, tangy cheesecake custard, the crunchy cornmeal shortbread and the fresh blueberry compote - are all fantastic together, but each can be used in a lots of other ways. My best-friend Judy decided she wanted to entertain outside this summer and she gave me the tedious (NOT!!) task of looking for a WOW dessert but understated and we both agree that this is the one. This is not the only dessert she is serving so we want to choose with much thought to her other desserts, as well. Food&Wine Magazine, August 2009 edition.Just between chilling and cooling time it takes about 6 hrs, that is if it is all done in one day - the shortbread can be made up to two days ahead of time & the assembled parfaits can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. ;)

- Beat cream in a large chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add vanilla extract and sugar gradually, continuing to beat on low speed until soft peaks form. Slowly increase speed to high as cream starts to firm up. Beat until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl one time during mixing.
- Spoon equal layers of lemon curd, followed by blueberry sauce, and whipped cream in small dessert glasses. Repeat this layering one more time, and garnish with fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint.
- Move glasses to the fridge, and chill for 30 minutes or longer.

Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries. Fresh blueberries have the best flavor and texture for this parfait. If you can't find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed and drained.
- Make sure the custard is chilled before assembling the parfait. This will help to keep the layers separate and prevent the parfait from becoming too runny.
- Don't overmix the custard. Overmixing will make the custard tough and rubbery. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a variety of toppings. In addition to blueberries, you can also top the parfait with granola, chopped nuts, or whipped cream.
- Serve the parfait immediately. This is a best enjoyed fresh. However, you can also make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Conclusion:
Blueberry custard parfait is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with layers of fresh blueberries, creamy custard, and crunchy granola. This parfait is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
