Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, heavy cream and sugar until smooth. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract and beat until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Add a layer of 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 Kelly’s Notes.) Top each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream and serve.
- Kelly's Note: For easier assembly, transfer the cheesecake mixture to a sealable plastic bag or piping bag then pipe it into the glasses. All components of the parfaits can be prepared a day in advance and then assembled prior to serving.
