Strawberry and Cream Cheese Parfait

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

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 6

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

1. 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.
2. 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).
3. 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.
