Strawberry Parfait RECIPE Video
Both Patrick and I loooooooved these No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits! We ate them all. every. single. one of them. Call us pigs, or call these No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits spellbindinlgy irresistible. Granted, we didn’t eat them all at once, but almost. And oh how they called to us when they were just sitting in the refrigerator. It’s like they couldn’t wait to be eaten. And we were happy to oblige. These No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits, with their layers of buttery amaretti (almond) cookie crumbs, fresh sliced strawberries, sweetened strawberry puree and lusciously creamy no bake cheesecake filling are impressively beautiful, but require minimal effort. They are a wonderful make-ahead dessert, travel friendly, no bake, crowd pleasing, and take minutes to throw together (besides maybe slicing strawberries which you can do ahead of time) . This dreamy, creamy twist on strawberry cheesecake can be assembled in any individual containers you have on hand, even plastic cups work :). The layers are very forgiving, so really any size works too, but I recommend clear containers if you have them, because these Parfaits are just so pretty with their contrasting layers. So let’s get layering! These No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits start with Amaretti, meaning almond (not related to the liquor), cookie crumbs. I highly recommend Amaretti cookies over any other cookie. They have a wonderfully subtle almond flavor with an irresistible fresh crunch that perfectly compliments the sweet-tart berries and velvety cheesecake. They also are a crunchier cookie, so they retain their satisfying texture after the Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits are refrigerated, whereas graham crackers, etc. have a tendency to soften quite a bit. Next you layer your sliced juicy strawberries, followed by yours strawberry puree made of strawberries, sugar and lemon juice. This hidden layer of deliciousness is the secret ingredient to these Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits that you won’t find in other recipes. Its unifies each bite with wonderfully concentrated sweet strawberriliciousness. Finally, we top our strawberry puree with our silky no bake cheesecake of cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, sour cream and heavy cream. The sour cream and heavy cream add a depth of volume and lusciousness and make the cheesecake soooooo creamy! You will be eating the filling with a spoon. Repeat the layers and refrigerate for a few hours as the No Bake Strawberry Cheesecakes call to you. They want to be eaten. by you. now. As you dig into your tall glass of deliciousness, you will be tempted to never make a traditional cheesecake again. ever.
