No bake lemon cheesecake parfaits make a delicious spring and summer dessert. These parfaits are made without gelatin or condensed milk. Just a handful of ingredients whipped together and layered into individual glasses for a sweet, tart, lemony treat.
No bake cheesecake bars are on of my favorite treats for a crowd, but having individual servings are great for those times when you want your own dessert.
Berries are a natural match with lemon and I found absolutely beautiful raspberries at the market, so I used them here for a bit of color. You could swap out the raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or any summer fruit that you like.

It’s finally summer and you know what that means – picnics, barbecues and long days at the beach. This Mediterranean orzo salad is perfect for taking on the go. It is light, yet substantial and dressed in a light vinaigrette.
I love this particular pasta salad because of all of the fresh vegetables it has. If you really wanted to load it up – broccoli, julienned zucchini, summer squash, cauliflower, red bell pepper or even summer beans would all be great in this salad.
Making salads of all kinds is my go-to during the warmer months. Check out my favorite summer salads post, you might find a new favorite!
