I absolutely love strawberry cheesecake! Well, I do now, when I was younger I wouldn’t even try the cheesecake. Cheese and cake didn’t sound like they belonged together. I decided the time had come to be more adventurous and taste a bite, haha, I was probably 35. Anyway ever since that day it is one of my favorite desserts. I try to lighten up my foods and not eat too many sugary sweets and this simple Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait fits the bill. Plus it looks so pretty and includes fruit, that’s always a good thing. I found a recipe here and adapted to my liking.This is a simple recipe that you can whip up at a moments notice.
