These creamy and smooth strawberry parfaits taste as good as they look. Top with whipped cream and sliced almonds for a real treat. Ingredients:
4 cups sliced strawberries, divided |
1/4 cup granulated sugar |
1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese |
1/2 cup (4 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup powdered sugar |
1 tablespoon water |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup amaretti cookie crumbs (about 8 cookies) |
1/2 cup frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, thawed |
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Place 2 cups of strawberry slices and granulated sugar in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Set strawberry puree aside.
2. Combine ricotta and next 4 ingredients (ricotta through vanilla) in a medium bowl; stir well with a whisk. Spoon 2 tablespoons cookie crumbs into each of 4 parfait glasses. Top each portion with 2 tablespoons strawberry puree, 1/4 cup strawberry slices, and 3 tablespoons ricotta mixture; repeat the layers. Drizzle the remaining strawberry puree over each serving. Chill for 2 hours. Top each parfait with 2 tablespoons whipped topping and 1 1/2 teaspoons almonds.
