Description
Delightful Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits for Instant Joy
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 8-ounce blocks cream cheese
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 1 sleeve graham crackers
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the fresh strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently and let them sit for about 15 minutes until juicy and flavorful.
- In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and lemon zest. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
- Take a good handful of the crust mixture and press it into the bottom of each serving glass to create a firm layer.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s light and creamy. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, mixing until completely smooth and fluffy.
- Spoon a generous layer of the cheesecake mixture over the crust in each glass, creating a delightful contrast in both texture and taste.
- Spoon a layer of the macerated strawberries over the cheesecake mixture, allowing those lush flavors to peek through. Repeat the layers until your glasses are filled to the brim.
- Place the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least an hour to set. This cooling time helps meld the flavors beautifully for that perfect bite!
