Indulge in the ultimate summer treat with our fresh, easy, and delicious No Bake Cheesecake parfaits! Topped with vibrant summer fruits, it's the perfect dessert for any occasion.
Who's ready to dig in?
If you love cheesecake like I do, but don't want to heat the kitchen or wait for it to bake and then wait again for it to set then these cheesecake parfaits are perfect for you.
The blend of tangy cream cheese filling, fresh fruit and crunchy cookies is delightful.
The fact they are ready to enjoy immediately after prepping them is a bonus.
Ingredients for No Bake Cheesecake Parfaits
The cheesecake filling is a blend of cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract (or other flavor) and a little milk or cream to blend it smooth.
For the "crust" I used these strawberry wafers because they don't contain any artificial colors... and they were on sale at the time ;).
Other options include any flavor layered wafer cookies (vanilla, lemon, raspberry, even chocolate), or go more traditional cheesecake crust with vanilla wafers, chocolate sandwich cookies (aka Oreos), or graham crackers.
I made these in the peak of summer so stone fruits were in season: peaches, plums, and cherries.
Mix it up for the season or use whatever combination of fruit you like best.
