  • Chill the Parfait Cups Before Serving: This will help the parfait set up properly and maintain its shape.
  • Pipe the Parfait Mixture Evenly: Use a piping bag or spoon to evenly distribute the parfait mixture into the cups. This will help ensure a consistent texture and appearance.
  • Garnish with Lemon Zest and Fresh Berries: Before serving, garnish the parfait cups with a sprinkle of lemon zest and fresh berries. This will add a pop of color and enhance the lemon flavor.
