Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and fluffy.

Add a layer of fresh blueberries (about 2 tablespoons per glass) over the lemon cream.
Step 6
Repeat the layers (granola, lemon cream, and blueberries) until the glasses are filled to your desired height, ending with a layer of blueberries on top.

Optionally, drizzle honey over the top layer of blueberries for added sweetness.
Step 8
Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving, or serve immediately for a quick and delightful treat.
