This pretty Blueberry Lemon Napoleon Dessert is a super easy recipe to prepare and perfect for any special occasion.
Entertaining is something I have really grown to enjoy. Decorating a table, planning a menu (particularly dessert!), and adding other special touches to make things festive can be fun, especially when entertaining a group of ladies. Whether it’s to celebrate an event, like a new baby or upcoming wedding, or maybe just getting together for the sake of catching up, it’s all fun to me.
Over the years I have learned to keep things simple. I don’t know about you, but in the past there have been times that I would tend to “bite off more than we can chew” when planning for a gathering. I’ve lived and learned. I still like to “fluff” and add those special touches, but without all of the fuss. Let’s call it “fluff with no fuss.” Or fuss-less fluff?
Anyway, that is why quick and easy desserts, like this Blueberry Lemon Napoleon Dessert, are so appealing. This dessert is still impressive, yet could not be easier. It’s really much fancier than it looks!
A few basic ingredients are all that will be needed for this easy napoleon dessert. Prepared puff pasty, fresh blueberries, lemons, cream cheese, and whipping cream all come together to create a fresh and light dessert, that is almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
The preparation is simple too. The lemon cream filling can be made a day or two ahead for easy assembling before serving. Or better yet, make a napoleon dessert bar with a variety of berries on hand, and let each person assemble their own napoleon to their liking. How fun would that be? It would be easy too, but still so lovely. I’m thinking a napoleon bar will make an appearance at my next ladies get-together for sure.
I hope you enjoy this easy summery Easy Blueberry Lemon Napoleon Dessert recipe as much as we do.
