Lemon-Blueberry Cheesecake Parfait

That’s a mouthful isn’t it? And I had several. That serving glass used to be my wine glass. There is a reason that I no longer use that glass - it holds way to much of a good thing. I mean, it is a very healthy indulgence; it has blueberries, which are high in antioxidants and other healthy stuff, and it has, um…um…eggs and um…some lemon and some orange. See, healthy! Never mind about the butter, sugar, cream, cheese, and deliciousness. This is a dessert for crying out loud!

Oh yeah, it also has cookies. But they’re just for texture!

I get these afternoon cravings for Oreos. I don’t know what it is, but it usually is Reese cups, but now, Oreos. These cookies, just a few, put that craving to rest. With the shortbread texture and that hint of orange, I can go on like a five year old with a cup of red Kool-Aid.

Usually the wife is the baker, but this was a team effort. I will admit, there are some steps to this recipe that take some time, but it is well worth it.
