Instructions
Creating Berry Cheesecake Parfaits is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
2. Layer the Crust: Spoon a layer of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of serving glasses or jars.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
4. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.
5. Layer the Cheesecake: Spoon a layer of the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in the glasses.
6. Add the Berries: Top the cheesecake layer with a generous handful of mixed berries.
7. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers of graham cracker crust, cheesecake filling, and berries until the glasses are full.
8. Chill: Cover the parfaits and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
9. Garnish: Before serving, add a sprig of fresh mint on top for a pop of color.
