Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cup cream cheese 300 g, 10.5 oz, Note 1
  • 1 ¼ cup yogurt Greek style, 300 g/ 10.5 oz
  • 1 cup heavy cream 230 ml

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whip the heavy cream until stiff. Set aside.
  2. Combine: Mix cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth in a large bowl. Fold in the heavy cream.
  3. Chop the strawberries.
  4. Assemble the dessert: Place some cream cheese mixture at the bottom of 6 dessert cups or jars. Add some meringues, crushing them with your fingers on top of the cream. Add some chopped strawberries. Repeat these layers one more time, finishing with strawberries.
  5. Refrigerate: Place the cups in the fridge and let them stand for a few hours before serving. The meringues will mostly disintegrate, making the dessert creamy and sweet.
