Ingredients
Vanilla Cheesecake Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners Monkfruit or regular sugar if not keto
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Strawberry Sauce
- 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries stems removed
- 2 tablespoons confectioners Monkfruit Sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice optional, but helps to brighten the strawberry flavor
Fresh Fruit Layer
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
For the Strawberry Sauce
- Add the chopped berries, confectioners sweetener, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it begins to simmer.
Stir the mixture well and reduce the heat to medium for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. - When the mixture has reduced and begun to thicken remove from heat. Allow the sauce to cool completely before adding to the cheesecake mixture.
For the Cheesecake Layer
- In a medium to large size mixing bowl add the softened cream cheese and powdered sweetener. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it is creamy.
- Next, add the sour cream and vanilla extract and beat the mixture again until combined. The final step is to add the heavy cream and beat the mixture until it has doubled in volume and is thick, fluffy, and creamy like the second photo above.
To Assemble the Parfaits
- Layer the cheesecake mixture, then the cooled strawberry sauce, chopped fresh berries, and repeat. I used these jars and it fills 6 very full jars.
Notes
