Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
How to Make
-
Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar substitute, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
-
Step 2: Rinse and dry the mixed berries. If using strawberries, remove the stems and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
-
Step 3: In goblets or dessert glasses, layer the lemon cream cheese mixture, berries, and slivered almonds. Start with a dollop of the cream cheese mixture at the bottom, followed by a layer of berries, then repeat until the glasses are filled.
-
Step 4: Top each parfait with a sprinkle of slivered almonds and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
-
Step 5: Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine and the cream cheese mixture to set slightly.
