Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
- 1 cup granola
- 1/2 cup strawberry preserves
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk to beat until smooth and creamy. Next, add the honey and vanilla extract, and mix again until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is silky.
Step 2: Slice the Strawberries
- Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and slice them thinly for even layering and a visually inviting parfait.
Step 3: Assemble the Parfaits
- Grab your parfait glasses or small jars to start layering. Begin with a spoonful of the cheesecake filling at the bottom. Follow with a layer of granola for crunch, then a layer of fresh strawberry slices. Add a dollop of strawberry preserves for a sweet and fruity burst. Repeat the layers, finishing with a few strawberries and a sprinkle of granola on top for garnish.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Place the assembled parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve chilled for the best experience.

- Prepare filling and sliced strawberries up to two days ahead for easy meal prep.
- Adjust honey amount to taste if strawberry preserves are very sweet.
