Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring creamy cheesecake filling layered with fresh blueberries and crunchy graham cracker crumbs, perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • Optional: honey or maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer (about 2 minutes). Add Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Beat until fully combined and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  3. Wash and dry blueberries thoroughly to avoid watering down the parfait layers.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each glass or cup, pressing lightly to form a firm base.
  5. Add about 3 tablespoons of cheesecake filling on top of the graham cracker base.
  6. Add roughly 2 tablespoons of blueberries over the cheesecake layer.
  7. Repeat layering if desired, ending with blueberries on top.
  8. Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld and the base firm up.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth texture; beat filling until fluffy for light mouthfeel. Fresh blueberries preferred over frozen to avoid excess liquid. Chill parfaits at least 1 hour for best texture. Can substitute dairy-free cream cheese and coconut yogurt for vegan version. Use gluten-free crumbs for gluten-free option. Press graham cracker base firmly to maintain crunch.
