Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Step 2: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with a mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 3: Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
- Step 4: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup crushed graham crackers with 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter until evenly moistened.
- Step 5: To assemble, spoon a layer of graham cracker crumble into the bottom of 4 parfait glasses or jars. Add a layer of the cheesecake filling (about 1/4 cup), followed by a layer of mixed berries (about 1/2 cup). Repeat layers once more, finishing with berries on top.
- Step 6: Chill parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld and filling set.
