5 Ingredient Layered Mango Cheesecake Parfaits Recipe
Description
The parfaits begin with puréed mango for a fresh, naturally sweet fruit layer. Whipped cream folded with cream cheese and powdered sugar forms a light, smooth cheesecake-style layer with gentle sweetness and mild tang. Crushed graham crackers serve as the base layer, adding a slightly crunchy texture and subtle sweetness to contrast the creamy layers.
Assembling the dessert in layers allows for pretty presentation and controlled portions. The creamy and fruity layers provide a balanced mouthfeel, while chilling enhances the set texture and melding of flavors. These parfaits make a refined dessert suitable for warm weather or casual entertaining.
Store the parfaits refrigerated in airtight containers for up to three days to maintain freshness. Freezing is not advised as it changes the texture of the cream and cream cheese. Use ripe mangoes for the best flavor and smooth purée consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 Mango peeled and stoned, ripe
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese plain, room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 graham crackers crushed into crumbs, package
Instructions
- Purée the mango flesh in a food processor until smooth.
- Whisk the cream to soft peaks. Fold in the powdered sugar and room-temperature cream cheese, then beat slowly until incorporated.
- Divide the graham cracker crumbs among the bottoms of four serving glasses.
- Layer the mango purée and cream cheese mixture into each glass. Refrigerate until chilled, if desired.
Notes
- Store the parfaits refrigerated, tightly covered, for up to 3 days to keep their texture fresh.
- Freezing these parfaits is not recommended because it can alter the texture of the cream cheese and whipped cream layers.
