Welcome to Day 4 of #SpringSweetsWeek 2019 hosted by Heather from Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures! What better way to celebrate the coming of spring than with food and a fun giveaway? 30 bloggers from around the country have come together to share over 100 sweet recipes perfect for spring! Get ready to ditch your hats, coats, and snow boots and get ready for some delicious sweet treats like cupcakes, cookies, sweet breads, and cocktails! Our #SpringSweetsWeek sponsors are helping us give away some great prizes. Thank you so much Swiss Diamond, Dixie Crystals, Nancy’s Yogurt, Sprinkle Pop, Adams Extracts, Barleans, Melissa’s Produce, and PEEPS® for your generosity. We have an incredible giveaway below and would love if you would take a moment to read about it and what you can win!
Today, I am sharing my recipe for Creamy Lemon Cheesecake Parfaits! This recipe is a perfect make in advance dessert, and it can be ready in 15 minutes! I opt to use jars for my cheesecakes because when I make them in advance I can pop on a lid when they are done, and serve them later.
I use a vanilla cream cheese base for these, followed by a tart lemon curd, and a little whipped cream. This dessert is absolutely delicious- and soooo easy!
For this recipe I am using my favorite vanilla from Adams Extract! It seriously smells so good, and the flavor is nice and strong which works perfectly in a no-bake cheesecake because I wanted a nice prominent flavor of vanilla to work with the tart citrus. Adams Extract is generous to donate to our prize pack as well. One lucky winner will receive, four of their amazing extracts and a set of their food colors. Don't forget to enter the giveaway below for a chance to win!
