Crust Ingredients:

• ¼ c. raw almonds
• ¼ c. raw pecans
• 3 pitted dates roughly chopped
• ¼ t. ground cinnamon plus more for garnish

Cheesecake Ingredients:

• 4 oz. cream cheese room temperature
• 1 c. full-fat Greek yogurt
• 3 T. honey preferably local (or maple syrup)
• 1 t. real vanilla extract
• 1 c. strawberries chopped
• 1 c. raspberries
• ½ c. blueberries

Instructions

 

• 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.
• Tip: If cream cheese isn’t fully softened, beat it first before adding the other ingredients.
• 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!
