Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Two (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons chilled heavy cream
1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
1 1/2 cups fresh fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries or raspberries

Steps:

  • Beat the cream cheese, 3 tablespoons heavy cream and 5 tablespoons sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and the lemon juice and zest. Beat until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  • Whisk together the remaining 1 cup heavy cream, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the sour cream in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer (or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment) on high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Add a layer of crushed graham crackers to the bottom of each parfait glass. Top the graham crackers with a layer of the cheesecake, then a layer of fruit (see Cook's Note). Top each parfait with a dollop of the whipped cream and serve.
