Ingredients
Compote
- 1 cup mixed berries fresh or frozen
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Cream
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
Berry Layers
- 18 oz fresh berries any mixture/variety
- 10 gingersnap cookies for garnish
- mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Make the berry compote: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup berries with 1 tablespoon water over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, then simmer on low for 5 minutes. Mash up the berries and stir in the syrup.Allow to simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Make the cream: With an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, yogurt, vanilla, and syrup in a large bowl. Beat on medium-high until well blended. Place bowl in fridge until ready to assemble parfaits.
- Assemble the parfaits: In a glass, break apart 2 gingersnap cookies if using, just enough to make an even layer. Top with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of berry compote. Top that with a layer of the yogurt-cream. Place an even layer of fresh berries, just enough to completely cover the cream layer. Repeat the cookie-crumble layer, then cream layer. Finally, top with a layer of fresh berries, and a mint leaf if desired. Repeat this process for all 4 glasses. Store in the fridge until ready to serve!

Notes
- You could use flavored greek yogurt - vanilla or lemon would be great here (but I like to be able to customize the flavor and sweetness myself, which is why I always opt to flavor plain yogurt.) Just simply fold the yogurt and cream cheese together.
