Some friends of ours recently had a cookout and one couple made these wonderful berry cheesecake parfaits. I knew I had to try them! She had found them in the Spring Food & Family magazine. I made them this past weekend when my mom, stepdad, & brother came over for dinner. These were so good! I loved the creaminess of the pudding mixture combined with the crunch of the vanilla wafers and the sweetness of the fruit. A perfect summer dessert! I also made this low-fat, so it’s a healthier way to have a sweet treat!

Those look delicious… perfect for breakfast right now! 🙂
These look great! And parfaits always look so fancy!
These look great! I think I would like to make them for my bbq, but it would be time consuming (and would take up a lot of fridge space) to do them separately (even though I know that is the idea and they look fancy). Would this work in a big (glass) serving bowl? Then people could just scoop some out.
Thanks! I love your blog 🙂
Those look wonderful. I would love to try one of them!
I think you could definitely do this in a large glass serving bowl! That would work well for a larger crowd for sure. You might just want to double the recipe to make sure you have enough of the pudding mixture for layering purposes.
What a pretty treat, and so light and perfect for summer!
wow.I love cheesecake and I don't know how to bake. This would be perfect..
