Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Mousse Parfaits Recipes

Steps:

• For the blueberry mash: Measure out 1/2 cup of the blueberries and reserve for garnish. Combine the remaining blueberries with the granulated sugar and lemon zest and juice in a bowl. With a potato masher, crush the berries and set aside for 5 minutes.
• For the whipped cream: Whip the cream with an electric mixer until foamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla bean paste and whip to soft peaks. Set aside.
• For the cheesecake filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese, lemon curd and lemon zest and juice and mix until combined. Fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. (Save the remaining whipped cream for assembly.)
• To assemble: In each dessert bowl or martini glass, add a layer of cheesecake filling, blueberry mash, crushed cookies and lemon curd. Repeat until each glass is filled, then top with a dollop of the reserved whipped cream. Garnish with the remaining crushed cookies, a few of the reserved blueberries and more lemon zest.

Steps:

• 1. Beat heavy cream, 5 tablespoons of the sugar, lemon juice and extracts in a large chilled bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
• 2. Toss berries and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl. Layer mousse and berries in dessert dishes. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Prepare crust: Combine graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Put crumb mixture into a springform pan or a 9-inch pie plate and use waxed paper to press down into the bottom.
• Prepare filling: Combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in lemon juice and zest. Pour into the crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center is almost set when you gently shake the pan, about 40 minutes. Continue baking and checking in 5-minute intervals if needed. Remove from the oven and immediately place in the refrigerator until chilled, 2 to 4 hours.
• While the cheesecake is chilling, prepare sauce: Mix sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a medium pan over medium heat until cornstarch dissolves. Add water and 1/2 of the blueberries and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 2 minutes. Crush blueberries with a potato masher. Remove from the heat and mix in remaining blueberries and lemon zest. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate along with the cheesecake until ready to serve.
• To serve, slice cheesecake and top with blueberry sauce.
