Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams low-fat cream cheese
- 120 grams non-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams cherries (pitted and halved)
- 100 grams granola
- 120 grams whipped topping (light)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and non-fat Greek yogurt. Whip the mixture with a hand mixer until smooth and fully combined.
Add honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing until the ingredients are well incorporated, creating a smooth, sweet, and tangy cheesecake filling.
In four serving glasses or jars, layer 2 tablespoons of granola at the bottom of each glass.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over the granola layer in each glass, spreading it evenly.
Add a layer of halved cherries (about 2 tablespoons) over the cream cheese mixture. Press gently to create an even layer.
Repeat the layers as desired (granola, cream cheese mixture, cherries) until the glasses are filled, leaving a small amount of space at the top.
Top each parfait with a dollop of light whipped topping and a few extra cherry halves for garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled dessert.
