Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup gluten-free graham crackers
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 cups resh diced strawberries sweetened with 1 tbs of sugar

Instructions

Making the crust

  • Begin by crushing the gluten-free graham crackers into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a resealable plastic bag and using a rolling pin.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Mix the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs until well combined.
  • Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly among your serving cups or jars, pressing it down gently to create a firm base.

Making the Cheesecake filling

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, continuing to beat until fully combined and the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.

Assemble the Parfaits

  • Spoon a layer of the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in each cup.
  • Add a generous layer of fresh diced & sweetened strawberries on top of the cheesecake filling.
  • Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of strawberries on top.

Chill and serve

  • Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing, creamy, and fruity delight!
