Ingredients

  • 6-7 graham crackers, finely crushed (about 1? cups)
  • For Blueberry Sauce
  • 1¼ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey or granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

  • 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (about ½ lemon)

Directions
  1. For the blueberries: Heat all of the blueberry sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow to boil and then mash with a fork. Turn the heat down to medium. Simmer sauce on medium low until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely before layering in parfaits.
  3. For the Cheesecake Layer: In a medium sized bowl beat the softened cream cheese for about a minute until smooth and creamy. Mix in half of the Greek yogurt until smooth then add the remaining half, along with the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Continue to mix until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar until everything is well combined.
  5. To Assemble: Assemble the parfaits by layering 1 to 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker crumbs on the bottom of each serving glass or jar, then the cheesecake mixture, and blueberries in alternating even layers. Top with fresh blueberries and any other berries of your choice. Store in refrigerator allowing to set for at least 30 minutes.
