6 parfaits
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups (crushed) Graham crackers
  • 6 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups (sliced) Fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup Strawberry jam

Prepare the Graham Cracker Crumbs

In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly moistened. This will form the base of your parfait.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.

Assemble the Parfaits

In six individual glasses or parfait dishes, layer the graham cracker crumbs, cheesecake filling, and sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of strawberries on top. Drizzle the strawberry jam over the top of each parfait.

Chill and Serve

Cover the parfaits with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
