Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Strawberries (sliced, for garnish)
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Place 2 cups of strawberries and granulated sugar into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a strawberry puree.
In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold the strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry-cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the mousse. Set the mousse mixture aside.
In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined. Divide the mixture evenly into 4 serving glasses, pressing gently to form a crust layer.
Spoon or pipe a layer of strawberry mousse over the crust layer in each glass.
Repeat with another layer of graham cracker crumbs and mousse, if desired, finishing with a top layer of mousse.
Garnish each parfait with sliced strawberries and optional mint leaves.
Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the mousse to set.
