This year for Mother's Day I wanted to make something light and summer inspired for our dessert. Nothing meets those two qualifications more than lemon and strawberries!
I found a great recipe over at Pretty.Simple.Sweet and it did not disappoint. Now, her recipe includes the recipe for making a homemade lemon curd which I did not make.
What did I do? I bought a butter pound cake in the freezer section of the store and cubed it up. I used canned lemon pudding instead of making lemon curd. (Lemon curd is wonderful but it also needs time, which I didn't have HA!). I DID make homemade whipped cream!!
Just layer the cake, lemon pudding, whipped cream, and strawberries in as many layers as your glass dish/cup/glass will hold. It was SOOOOO good!
This could also be made as a full size parfait in a glass bowl to take to a summer picnic or pot luck.
