Lemon Parfait with Berries

Yummy, creamy lemony summer dessert!

-1 1/2 C heavy cream
-2 11 oz jars lemon curd
-2 1/2 tbls lemon juice
-2 tbls lemon zest
-1-2 C fresh berries: strawberries, raspberries, etc. Whatever you like with lemon.

1. Whip cream with electric mixer on high in ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form--3-5 minutes or so.
2. Place whipped cream in refridgerator to chill. While cream chills, mix together lemon curd, lemon juice, and lemon zest in medium bowl.
3. Fold in whipped cream to lemon curd mixture. Combine. Add berries and stir.
4. Serve within 3 hours. Chill until serving.

***This would also be delicious in a graham cracker crumb crust--no baking; just spoon the parfait into the crust and garnish with berries.
