    How to Make Light and Luscious Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits

    1. Crumb Base Prep

    Place the ginger biscuits in a sturdy plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush them into chunky crumbs. Evenly distribute the crumbs between 4 elegant glasses or small dessert bowls.

    2. Cheese Blend

    In a mixing bowl, combine the extra-light soft cheese, Greek yogurt, caster sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. Spoon this creamy blend over the biscuit crumbs in each glass. Place in the refrigerator to chill until serving time.

    3. Strawberry Topping

    Before serving, loosen the strawberry jam by stirring it in a small bowl. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries, ensuring they are well-coated with the jam. Top each chilled cheesecake with an even portion of the strawberry mixture.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Use the Freshest Strawberries

    Select ripe, sweet, and aromatic strawberries, preferably in-season locally, for maximum flavor.

    Quality Cream Cheese

    Use full-fat, high-quality cream cheese and let it soften at room temperature for the best taste and texture.

    Layer with Precision

    Use a clear glass and carefully layer ingredients to create a visually appealing dessert. A piping bag can be used for neat layers.

    Whip the Cream to Soft Peaks

    Aim for soft peaks when whipping cream to maintain lightness in the parfait.

    Chill Before Serving

    Refrigerate parfaits for at least an hour before serving to allow layers to set and flavors to meld.
