Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Granola
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional)
- 1 handful Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Hull and slice the fresh strawberries. Set aside about 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries for garnish, and mash the rest slightly with a fork to create a juicy texture.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar (if using) to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined and smooth.
To assemble the parfaits, use 4 small glasses or jars. Start with a layer of granola on the bottom.
Add a layer of cream cheese mixture, followed by a layer of mashed strawberries.
Repeat the layers (granola, cream cheese mixture, mashed strawberries) until you reach the top of the glass or jar.
Top each parfait with a few of the reserved sliced strawberries and a sprig of mint, if desired.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld, or serve immediately for a fresh and creamy treat.
