    Recipe: Meyer Lemon ‘Custard’ Island Parfait – Vegan

    This is for everyone who a) loves lemon desserts (especially Meyer lemon desserts), and b) is in need of a little sunshine spirit available by the spoonful.Super easy recipe coming at you. The vegan ‘custard’ is made with only two main ingredients and takes about 30 seconds to ‘make’. You won’t believe how delicious and elegant this parfait turns out. You can have it chilling in your fridge in ten minutes time. And as I always try, it’s super healthy.

      It is really delicious and really easy to make! I hope everyone can try this recipe. The veganaise + lemon yogurt trick is divine. Also, try veganaise + chocolate pudding (the soy, fat free kind) and it is amazing.Kathy
