Every summer I like to prepare this dessert with fresh fruit, especially strawberries that have a delightful aroma and perfectly complement the cream cheese.
Strawberry and raspberries are my favorites for this kind of parfait, but you can use any fruit that you like.
A quick, easy, and delicious dessert! This Parfait is great with a hint of lemon zest and fresh mint!

Method
1. Wash the strawberries, drain them well, cut the stalks and slice them. In a large bowl, place the fruits, add the vanilla sugar and lemon juice. Gently, stir to combine, then let this sit for 10 minutes. 2. In another bowl, using a wooden spoon, cream together the cream cheese and powdered sugar, until smooth. Add lemon zest and mint; stir to combine. 3. Prepare 4 parfait glasses. Place a few spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture into the bottom of a glass. Top that with a layer of the macerated strawberries, then repeat with one more of cream cheese layer and top with strawberries.
