Blackberry Coulis and Lime Curd Parfait (Vegan)
A slightly sweet, slightly tart, cool summer treat filled with the flavors of blackberries and limes. It’s egg-free, dairy-free, easy to prepare, and fun to eat.
I love the combined flavors of blackberries and limes, and I love the look of layered desserts. This parfait brings these two loves together. A beautiful, slightly sweet blackberry coulis, sweet whipped cream, and a lovely, tart lime curd.
What you will need:
This is one of the easiest desserts you will ever bring together. The blackberry coulis comes together with three ingredients in less than 5 minutes. The lime curd takes 10 minutes of your time with a mere six ingredients. Lastly, you can have lovely, sweet whipped cream with only 4 ingredients and 10 minutes.
Blackberry Coulis (recipe on website)
- 1 recipe needed
- extra blackberries for decoration
Lime Curd (recipe on website)
- 1 recipe needed
- extra zest for decoration
Whipped Cream
- plant based heavy cream
- vanilla extract
- powdered sugar
- cream of tartar
How To:
First things first, prepare the blackberry coulis and lime curd. Both of these recipes are on the website. Both of these recipes can be prepared ahead of time. Preparing them ahead of time can make assembly day easier.
To prepare the whipped cream, add the heavy cream and cream of tartar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip on high with a balloon whisk attachment for 3 to 5 minutes. Once soft peaks are achieved, add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar and continue whipping on high for another 3 to 5 minutes.
To bring these cute little desserts together, we simply layer our 3 ingredients. To the bottoms of each dessert container add 3 tablespoons of the blackberry coulis. Then add a layer of whipped cream to each container. Fill a piping bag ( fitted with the tip of your choice) with 2/3 of the whipped cream. Pipe equal amounts of the whipped cream into each dish and spread it out evenly. Now place 3 tablespoons of lime curd to the top of the whipped cream layer, spreading it out evenly. Pipe a little of the reserved whipped cream over the tops of each dessert. A blackberry and a sprinkle of lime zest added to the top of each dessert is a nice final look.
Alright, let’s get started. Please make and enjoy!

- To assemble the desserts, you will add 3 tablespoons of blackberry coulis to each dessert container. Make sure it is evenly covering the bottom. To a piping bag (fitted with the tip of your choice) add 2/3 of the whipped cream . Pipe equal amounts of the whipped cream into each container, covering the blackberry coulis layer. Now add 3 tablespoons of lime curd to each container making sure it is evenly spread out over the whipped cream layer. The last of the whipped cream can either be dolloped onto the tops of each dessert or added to the piping bag and piped over the top of each dessert.
