Instructions:

To make the blueberry sauce:

  • In a saucepan, add cornstarch and granulated sugar and whisk over medium-high heat. Add in lemon juice and water. Next, place the frozen blueberries. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Let mixture boil for around 2 minutes until thickened.
  • Remove and allow mixture to cool then put in the freezer to speed chill, checking it and stirring on 5 minutes until cold.

To make the cheesecake topping:

  • Using an electric mixer, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Next, in a separate mixing bowl beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  • Transfer whipped cream mix into cream cheese mix and combine.

To assemble parfaits:

  • Divide ½ of the pound cake cubes among serving glasses or cups. Spoon or pipe ½ of the cheesecake filling over pound cake layer.
  • Top with one to two spoonsful of blueberry sauce. Repeat layering once more.
  • Before serving, decorate with fresh mint leaf (if desired). Serve immediately.
