How to make this Cheesecake Parfait Dessert
First make your whipped cream by adding the heavy cream to a mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until it doubles and soft peaks form. Set aside. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until I’ll combined. Then add in the homemade whipped cream and mix a little longer.
Then grab out your parfait cups and spoon a little of the mixture in. And a handful of blueberries, then top with the rest of the cheesecake filling. Top with another blueberry for garnish. Then cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours. When ready to serve, serve as is or crush some graham crackers on top for a little crunch.
Variations
- Want to use cool whip instead? Go for it.
- Want to make a graham cracker crumb crust? Just zizz up some graham crackers with some melted butter and press into the bottom of the parfait cups.
