Make these quickie calcium and antioxidant‑rich parfaits with any combination of fruit, including peaches, strawberries, and
kiwifruit! Here's a great trick: When adding each layer, spoon around the glass edge first to ensure a clean line on the outside.
 | Serving size: 1 parfait Calories: 200
Time: 10 minutes + chilling time Servings: 4
4 oz Neufchâtel cheese, softened 1/2 c reduced‑fat sour cream 1/4 c organic icing sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 4 organic gingersnaps, crushed (2‑3 Tbsp) 1 1/2 c fresh or frozen and thawed blueberries |
1. COMBINE cheese and sour cream in bowl of electric mixer and beat on high speed until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract
and beat until well combined. Reserve 4 teaspoons of the mixture and set aside. (You should have 1 cup for the parfaits.)
2. FILL each of 4 small parfait glasses or champagne flutes with layers, starting with 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture, then
some cookie crumbs, and then a layer of blueberries. Repeat the pattern once more using the remaining cheese mixture,
crumbs, and blueberries. Finish by dabbing 1 teaspoon of the reserved cheese mixture on top of each parfait. Use any extra
berries and crumbs to garnish, if desired. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
