Farm Girl Tips
- To make your own graham cracker crumbs, place graham crackers in a gallon-size zip top bag and crush with a rolling pin. A food processor works well too.
- For the smoothest filling, allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing.
- These parfaits can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance, making them perfect for cookouts, potlucks, and holiday gatherings.
- Serve in clear jars or glasses to show off the layers.
- For a festive red white and blue dessert, garnish with additional berries just before serving.
- Full-fat Greek yogurt creates the creamiest cheesecake texture, but low-fat Greek yogurt can be substituted if preferred.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream before serving for an extra-special touch.
