Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Layers

When I first saw this dessert at Disneyland I was intrigued by the layer of jello. I had never seen jello paired with cheesecake. I couldn’t wait to try it. I thought the jello texture with the cheesecake would be weird but was excited to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! I loved it so much I decided to come home and recreate my version of the sea monster friend parfait from Disneyland. The parfait was created to celebrate Disney and Pixar’s Luca. I took it into a different direction. This Ocean Water Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Parfait reminds me of a day at the beach. With a sandy bottom, foamy shore water, and beautiful blue water. The perfect beach party dessert!

How to Store Cheesecake Parfaits

For best results, store parfaits in an airtight container (mason jars work best). Parfaits must be kept in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Desserts containing cream cheese can sit out at room temperature for no longer than TWO HOURS.

How Much in Advance Can I Make These Parfaits?

The cheesecake parfaits can be made three to four days in advance. I made them on a Wednesday and served them that Saturday. There was a little bit of jello syrup floating on the top but not bad. It didn’t change the texture or flavor of the dessert. I was the only one that noticed.
