This Meyer Lemon dessert just screams summertime dessert.
A dessert that consists of layers of graham cracker pie crumbs, with sweetened mascarpone cheese, fresh blueberries, and a creamy, tart, meyer lemon whipped pudding as the finale.
The different flavors and textures make it a very unique dessert,
and prepared in a jar, to add to the feel of summer.
I saw this box of instant pudding mix in the store a few weeks ago @Walmart in Parkersburg, WV, and knew that I had to try it in a dessert.
I had not seen this flavor previously and was amazed that it was a whipped pudding.
Meyer Lemon is a flavor that I love, but do not find meyer lemons in our area. When I visit my daughter in NC, I always visit her grocery store to stock up on these.
I found these cute little jars a few months ago at Wal-Mart and have enjoyed making different desserts in them. Just add the lid on them, and it is an easy to dessert to transport to a summertime party.
To make this dessert, assemble the ingredients.
(pretend like the bowl of blueberries is in picture!)
Prepare the Meyer Lemon pudding as directed on the box.
Combine mascarpone cheese and confectioner sugar.
I purchase a graham cracker pie crust to use, instead of
plain crumbs for the extra flavor and sweetness in them.
Next, just start layering the dessert in the jar.
Place the crumbled pie crust in bottom of the jar.
Spread a layer of the mascarpone cheese.
Top with fresh blueberries.
Add some big scoops of this creamy Meyer Lemon
instant pudding mix.
Garnish with a sprinkle of graham cracker pie crumbs, lemon zest, and a small slice of lemon.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
