Lemon Chiffon Raspberry Parfait
I am excited to be part of #SummerDessertWeek and I am kicking it off with a refreshing Lemon Chiffon Raspberry Parfait. Just what we all want on a hot summer day. 
The lemon chiffon starts with the filling of my Lemon Meringue Pie. However, I did not stop there as that filling is too thick for a light dessert. Once the filling cooled, I folded in just enough whipped cream to create a pillow of lemony goodness. One of my favorite parts of making Lemon Chiffon Raspberry Parfait was knowing that I could make the lemon layer ahead of time and assemble shortly before serving. The fresh raspberries offer a delightful color and taste. 
There are several sponsors associated with #SummerDessertWeek and I was thrilled to receive goodies from just about all of them. Dixie Crystals gift certificates for sugar were exactly what I needed for the sweetness of the lemon filling. Susquehanna Glass Company sent me beautiful glasses that I used for my parfaits. I highly recommend checking them out but know that you may assemble your Lemon Chiffon Raspberry Pafait in any shape or kind of glass you love.

- ½ cup (106 grams) sugar
- 2½ tablespoons (22 grams) all purpose flour
- ⅔ cup (141 grams) boiling water
- 2 egg yolks (33 grams), room temperature, beaten
- 1½ tablespoons (23 grams) unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons (50 grams) lemon juice
- ⅓ cup (93 grams) whipping cream, beaten
- 1½ pints fresh raspberries
- For the lemon chiffon layer:
- Whisk the sugar and flour together in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the boiling water until it is smooth.
- Beat the egg yolks together in a small bowl. Beat in several spoonfuls of the boiling water mixture, stirring constantly, then whisk into the saucepan.
- Add the lemon juice and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is the consistency of a thick pudding. A spoon will part the mixture down the middle when the lemon filling is done.
- Immediately transfer to a bowl and cover with wax paper, pressing the wax paper onto the lemon filling.
- Refrigerate until very cold, several hours or overnight.
- To assemble:
- Beat the whipped cream. Transfer to a bowl.
- Transfer the lemon filling to the mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
- Fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture.
- Transfer lemon chiffon to the bottom third of a glass. Use the back of a small measuring spoon to smooth the top. Place a layer of fresh raspberries on top. Transfer another a layer of lemon chiffon over the raspberries. Place a raspberry on top.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
