INGREDIENTS 

For the Blueberry Sauce:

- 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tsp water (optional, for thicker sauce)

 INSTRUCTIONS 


1. Make the Blueberry Sauce  

1. Cook berries: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium flame, stirring occasionally, until berries burst (about 7–10 mins).  

2. Thicken (optional): For a syrup-like consistency, mix cornstarch with water, stir into the sauce, and simmer  1 more minute.  

3. Cool: Remove from heat and let cool completely (transfer to a jar to speed up cooling).  


2. Assemble the Parfaits  

1. Layer 1: In a tall glass, add a scoop of  vanilla ice cream.  

2. Layer 2: Drizzle with  blueberry sauce (about 1 tbsp).  

3. Layer 3: Add a scoop of  blueberry ice cream/sorbet.  

4. Repeat:Alternate layers until the glass is full.  

5. Swirl:Use a skewer or spoon to gently marble the layers (don’t overmix!).  


3. Top & Serve

- Fresh fruit: Pile on blueberries and blackberries.  

- Crunch: Sprinkle crushed cookies or graham crackers.  

- Indulge (optional): Add whipped cream and a drizzle of honey.  


 Serve immediately  for a soft, creamy texture, or freeze for 10 mins if needed.  


 PRO TIPS FOR PERFECTION

- Ice cream texture: Let ice cream sit at room temp for  5–7 mins for easy scooping.  

- Sauce options: Swap blueberries for raspberries or mixed berries.  

- No-cook shortcut:Use store-bought blueberry jam (thin with lemon juice).  

- Adult twist: Add a splash of Chambord (raspberry liqueur) to the sauce.  

- Vegan/dairy-free: Use coconut milk-based ice cream and omit whipped cream.  


 PRESENTATION IDEAS  

- Use  clear mason jars or vintage glasses for a pretty layered effect.  

- Garnish with  edible flowers  or lemon zest for Instagram-worthy vibes.  


This  sweet-tart, creamy-crunchy parfait  is a showstopper for summer parties or cozy nights in! Let me know if you’d like variations (like adding cheesecake chunks or granola).
