Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Stir graham crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tbsp sugar until moist. Press into the bottoms of 4 serving glasses.
  2. Beat cream cheese until smooth, then beat in powdered sugar and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold into the cream cheese mixture gently.
  3. Toss sliced strawberries with 1 tbsp sugar and lemon juice. Let sit 10 to 15 minutes until juicy.
  4. Layer the crust with cheesecake filling, then strawberries, and repeat. Finish with a small swirl of filling or whipped cream and a strawberry slice.

Notes

Chill the assembled parfaits for at least 2 hours before serving for a firmer texture and cleaner layers. If you prefer a softer consistency, let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes after chilling.
