How's your summer been going? Long hot days and warm summer nights? That's what we are enjoying here in the valley. It's been hot, but beautiful too - I love this time of year!

As easy as it is delicious and beautiful Blueberry Parfait takes less than 10 minutes to make!
First up for me is this super easy Blueberry Parfait. 10 minutes to make to pure berry deliciousness! Plus you won't even break a sweat putting this easy dessert together! Who wouldn't love that?
The recipe to make a Blueberry Parfait is super simple - into the blender go blueberries, chia seeds and sugar. Give it a real good whiz on high until you have a completely smooth texture. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate.
Blueberry Parfait - So simple all you will need is blueberries, chia seeds and sugar!
Next up is the whipped cream. Pour the cream into the mixing bowl, add vanilla and powdered sugar. Whip until soft peaks form.
Fold the whip cream into the blueberry mixture. Pipe into pretty containers and top with whole berries.
If desired, save some whip cream for the top of the blueberry parfait - don't forget to top it off with more berries!
When you make whip cream, tucking the bowl and beaters into the freezer for a few moments will make it come together even faster!
I couldn't say enough wonderful things about this dessert. It is light, airy and fresh. Super easy and incredibly delicious! You can make this with any of your favorite fruit also. Plus it's fancy enough to make for a dinner party.
So light and yummy!
I don't have any fancy parfait dishes, but these little juice glasses work just fine! I love using unexpected vessels when serving something special. Pretty tea cups would also be super cute!
