Go ahead, put those lemons to use…’tis the season! If you can possibly get your hands on Meyer Lemons, this recipe will be even more out-of-this-world. I promise you’ll never go back to boxed lemon bar mixes again after making and tasting these yummy bars. Between the simple, homemade shortbread crust and all that lemon goodness, you’ll find yourself coming back for more!
I have a trusty list of desserts that always seem please, and this my friends is at the top of the list. The first time I made these parfaits, it seemed to take forever. I wondered if they would be worth the effort…they were. The second time around the process moved quickly. So quickly that I wondered if I’d missed a step.
I made the 4 layers in stages over two days (none of them taking more than 30 minutes each) and then assembled them just before serving. There is a reason this is a staff favorite over at Food & Wine…it is one of the most delicious desserts I’ve ever made.
