These Lemon Breakfast Parfaits are a fresh, sunny way to start the day. A creamy blend of sour cream and plain yogurt is lightly sweetened with honey and infused with fragrant lemon zest, creating a smooth, lightly tangy base that feels both indulgent and refreshing. Parfaits are one of my favorite breakfasts because they’re easy to make ahead, endlessly customizable, and perfect for grab-and-go mornings when time is tight.
The bright lemon flavor pairs beautifully with the tart pop of kiwi and berries, while the toppings are where you can really have fun. I like to switch things up based on what I have on hand, but my absolute favorite finishing touch is a sprinkle of crystallized ginger over a dollop of whipped cream. It adds a little sparkle and just the right amount of zing, and makes breakfast feel delightfully fancy.
