Yummy!! This was light and refreshing! Not too tart and not too sweet!! Made it with Rita L's Lemon Curd Recipe #61278.

OMIGOSH - this was SOOO good. I macerated the strawberries in a little sugar and some triple sec for a few hours, but this would have been scrumptious even with the berries plain. A lovely dessert - very elegant looking but oh so very easy!

Very tasty and light! I made some lemon curd last week that needed to be used up, and this was a perfect way to use it. It was enjoyed by all, and it was so pretty!!! Thanks Leslie!

Very yummy, and easy, this recipe gave me a reason to learn to make lemon curd. It is easy and delicious. I added in some grham cracker crumbs in with they parfait layers to make it interesting. Served it in a margarita glass! Not too sweet, not too tart, just right!
