Instructions: Melt the butter in a small heavy sauce pan.
Remove pan from heat and whisk in all the ingredients until smooth.
Put back on heat and cook until the mixture thickens up but don't boil. It takes about 5 minutes.
Pour lemon curd into a strainer resting over a bowl and let it cool like that, whisking occasionally.  Curd will go through the strainer and you are left with a delicious concoction!

Store in fridge for an hour or until you are ready to assemble parfaits.


Make the whipped cream right before assembling: 
1 c heavy cream
2 T confectioner's Sugar
1 T finely grated lemon zest

In a large bowl, beat the cream with an electric mixer on high until soft peaks form.  Add sugar and zest until stiff peaks form.

Take out 4 nice glasses or a parfait bowl.  Line the bottom with bread.  Then add a layer of curd and top with whip cream and repeat. Final layer make a nice swirl of the whip cream. So good! Serves 4 generously, 8 very stingy! :)

Comments from recipe creator Shari:

I love using Lemon Blueberry Bread as my Parfait base that is alternated with Lemon Curd and Lemon Whipped Cream. Relatively Healthy and Divine!! The whipped cream is best handmade but the curd can be store bought although I make my own curd b/c it takes great alone as a spread on the bread, too!
