Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream whipped
  • 18 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Fruit Layer:
  • 5 to 6 cups assorted fruit like strawberries, blueberries, kiwi

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Parfait Glasses or Jars
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling - In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Add the Sweetness - Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated. Then add the lemon juice and salt, mixing until well-blended. The filling should be luscious and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Whip the Cream - In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using the electric mixer, whip the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Fold it Together - Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture to lighten it. Once combined, fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain. Be gentle to keep the mixture airy.
  5. Step 5: Prepare the Fruit - Wash and chop your assorted fruits into bite-sized pieces. You can create a colorful mix using strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and kiwi.
  6. Step 6: Assemble the Parfaits - In your parfait glasses or jars, layer the cheesecake filling and fruit. Start with a layer of cheesecake, followed by a layer of fruit. Repeat until you reach the top of the glass, finishing with a dollop of cheesecake and a few pieces of fruit for garnish.
  7. Step 7: Chill and Serve - Cover the parfaits with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in your mixture.
  • Add crushed cookies or graham crackers between layers for added texture.
  • Get creative with your fruit selections; the more colorful, the better!
  • These parfaits can be made a day in advance for convenience.
