About This Recipe

"This is a recipe from the issue of July 2006 of Coup de Pouce. It looks so fresh and yummy."

Ingredients

4 ounces light cream cheese, soften
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup vanilla yogurt
3 cups strawberries, sliced
1 cup small almond cookie, roughly crushed ( amaretti)
1 tablespoon almonds, sliced, roasted

Directions

In a bowl, with an electric mixer, mix cream cheese and 3 tablespoon of sugar for 2 minutes or until it's creamy. Add yogurt and mix until the mixture is homogeneous.
Put strawberries in a large bowl. Add remaining sugar and stir delicately to coat well. Let rest for 5 minutes at room temperature (stir one time).
In 6 parfait glasses of a capacity of 1 cup each, distribute half the mixture of cream cheese, half of strawberries and half of almond cookies. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cover with a plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 2 hours. When ready to serve, garnish with roasted almonds.

"Mmmmmm, this is scrumptious. Smooth, creamy and the strawberries are at their peak now. I used all Splenda and non fat yogurt. it's simple to make and looks lovely as well as tasting wonderful."

"This cream cheese sauce is heavenly with fresh berries. I used mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries) and served over angel food cake slices. I brought this to a dinner party, and everyone enjoyed it. So refreshing on a warm summer evening."

"Yumm Boomette! This is fantastic. I made it just as posted with the exception of using low fat granola instead of the cookies. I also used a non-fat vanilla yogurt. To further reduce calories, we used Splenda instead of sugar. It is a hit and the family is already asking for me to make more! Thanks for posting!!"

"This is a great dessert. My kids loved it. DH liked that it wasn't too sweet or heavy. I used strawberry yogurt and cinnamon cookies. I love that it is so versatile as well, fresh mangoes would go great here too. This is something I know I'll be making often. Thanks Boomette. Made for Bevy Tag."

"I just found a great and easy breakfast recipe. I loved this parfait. I used granola in place of the almond cookie. This was so easy and fast to put together. Thanks for another wonderful recipe, Boomette. Made for August, 2008 Bevy Tag."

"Wonderful! I did not have any almonds so I decorated it with whipped cream and another strawberry. This is a quick and easy dessert and I love the taste of the almond cookies. Made for Holiday Tag."
