EASY CHEESECAKE PARFAITS

Steps:

• 1. CRUST: Use your favorite graham cracker pie crust or Ritz™ pie crust. The ingredients are the same: crushed graham crackers or Ritz crackers, melted butter, little bit of sugar. Some cooks like to add a pinch of ground cinnamon to the crust and you can if the mood strikes you. The only thing you're doing differently is not pressing the mixture into a pie pan.
• 2. PARFAIT FILLING: Combine filling ingredients in a blender or mixer and blend until smooth.
• 3. In each parfait glass place a small amount of the crust crumbles on the bottom. Add a spoonful of the cheesecake mixture followed by a final layer of crust crumbles. Depending on the size of the parfait glasses you may be able to do two layers of each.
• 4. Cover and chill 3 hours before. Tip: if adding fresh fruit slices or sauce as a garnish do not add it to the top of the parfait until just before serving.
