I love eating a yummy dessert out on the back deck with my family in the evening after dinner. We sit under the covered portion so we aren’t in the sun, and get to listen to our water feature and look at the amazing Rocky Mountains.
It’s simple…
…and easy.
I love how mouthwateringly wonderful it is.
We’ve had all kinds of desserts out there…anything ranging from slow cooker peach crisp to Rice Krispie treats to s’mores to apple crisp to ice cream.
We’ve even had mugs of steaming hot chocolate on chilly evenings.
Yep, we’ve really covered the gamut. 🙂

|
- 4 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 Tbsp honey preferably local (or maple syrup)
- 1 tsp real vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries chopped
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup raw almonds
- 1/4 cup raw pecans
- 3 pitted dates roughly chopped
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon plus more for garnish
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine almonds, pecans, dates, and cinnamon. Pulse until the mixture starts to form a ball and the nuts are nicely broken down.
- Divide the nut crust between 4 individual serving dishes or jars and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Set aside.
- Divide half of the cheesecake mixture between the 4 serving dishes or jars and divide half of the berries among the individual dishes.
- Repeat this process with remaining cheesecake mixture and fresh berries.
- Place the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill.
- To serve, garnish with ground cinnamon or an extra drizzle of honey, if desired. Enjoy!
Tip: If cream cheese isn’t fully softened, beat it first before adding the other ingredients.
