Make it easy. Make it no bake. We're
0:03
gonna make strawberry cheesecake
0:06
parfets. First thing we're going to do
0:08
is get our strawberries ready because we
0:10
need to get those merated, which means
0:12
get those flavors going, soften them
0:14
down just a little bit. Now, I've got
0:16
some beautiful strawberries already
0:18
rinsed them off. And what we're going to
0:20
do is cut these. I'll show you one here.
0:23
Just take off the top. And then we're
0:25
going to dice them. We want them pretty
0:27
small.
0:29
And then we're going to measure them
0:30
out. Make sure that we have about two
0:32
cups. I'm going to place them in a
0:34
measuring cup so that we make sure that
0:36
we have what we need.
0:40
I'm going to finish the rest of these up
0:42
till I get to that two cup line.
0:45
We're going to add our diced
0:46
strawberries to a medium bowl.
0:49
And then we're going to add in one
0:51
tablespoon of white granulated sugar.
0:53
Sprinkle it on top.
0:56
And then we're going to put in one
0:59
teaspoon of some lemon juice. Now, I
1:02
like to have this on hand.
1:04
Just a little squirt.
1:07
Just take a fork, blend this together.
1:11
Going to let these merate for 10
1:14
minutes. That'll give us time to get the
1:17
other layers going.
1:23
Set this aside. We are going to put
1:27
together the cookie layer. I'm using
1:30
graham crackers. And you're going to
1:32
need about 12 of the graham crackers
1:35
here.
1:37
And we'll put those into a medium mixing
1:39
bowl. Good thing Thomas isn't here right
1:42
now. He'd already be in these. All
1:44
right, we got four, five, six, seven,
1:46
eight, nine,
1:48
and then we'll get three out of this
1:50
pack. And I've melted four tablespoons
1:54
of butter.
1:56
Now, if you want, you can use the
1:58
non-salted butter. I am using just
2:02
regular salted butter for that. So, what
2:04
we're going to do is just break these up
2:05
into a fine crumb. Or, you know, if you
2:08
want a little texture to it, you could
2:09
do that also. But just go in and just
2:12
crush it up. Or you can use your food
2:14
processor.
2:16
I'm not going to do that.
2:19
I might put these in a Ziploc bag and
2:20
bash it up, which I did right here.
2:24
I'm going to get my rolling pin and just
2:26
bash at them.
2:32
There we go. We're going to put that
2:34
into our bowl.
2:41
We're going to add in the four
2:43
tablespoon of melted butter.
2:48
And we're just going to use the fork.
2:51
Press that butter into the crumbs.
2:54
We'll add a nice layer to our parfait.
3:00
Just keep going till we get it all
3:03
combined. I like the little textures,
3:06
the little bits there. That'll be good.
3:09
I think I'm going to add two more
3:10
tablespoons of melted butter to that.
3:15
There we go.
3:19
That's better. I like that crumb better.
3:22
All right. Once we get that all
3:23
combined,
3:25
we're going to set this off to the side.
3:27
Then we got to make that cheesecake
3:29
mixture.
3:32
We're going to start at a large mixing
3:33
bowl. We're going to place in one block
3:36
of cream cheese. Make sure it is room
3:39
temperature. You can leave it on your
3:41
counter for about 30 minutes to an hour.
3:44
This is what I'm using right here. This
3:47
is a third less fat.
3:51
And we'll get that into the bowl. This
3:53
is really squishy, which is what you
3:54
want, y'all. I wanted to make y'all the
3:57
fullblown
4:00
cheesecake
4:01
where you make it all. You put it in
4:04
your oven for an hour and then you let
4:06
it sit for an hour and then you got to
4:08
let it sit on your counter for until it
4:10
cools off and then you got to put it in
4:12
the refrigerator to chill it overnight.
4:15
and I had everything to make it, which
4:17
was all of this here. But I know y'all
4:21
wanted something a little easier, right?
4:23
Where you don't have to use your oven.
4:25
So, we got the cream cheese in a large
4:26
mixing bowl. I'm going to take my
4:28
electric hand mixer. We're going to
4:31
beat that for about two minutes until
4:33
it's nice and smooth. Kind of a creamy
4:36
mixture before we do the rest. And we
4:39
only have three more ingredients and
4:42
then we'll pull this whole thing
4:43
together. Aren't y'all excited?
4:46
I am.
4:48
We just want to whip this up.
4:51
One day I will make you that full-blown
4:54
cheesecake.
4:56
If y'all want it, let me know down in
4:58
the comments.
5:00
But today was just not the day. Okay,
5:05
we're gonna add in
5:07
one cup of heavy whipping cream.
5:10
I know the order of this is just funny,
5:12
isn't it? Yep. Let's see. Let's make
5:15
sure we get our one cup.
5:18
There we go.
5:22
Right, we're going to add that.
5:24
We're going to add in 1/4 cup of some
5:27
granulated sugar.
5:32
We're going to sweeten that up.
5:35
And then we're going to add in some
5:37
flavor. Little bit of vanilla extract.
5:42
There we go. Now, we're going to cream
5:45
this all together until it is well
5:47
combined and it has soft peaks because
5:49
we want to hold its shape in our
5:52
parfets.
5:57
Make sure you grab yourself a spatula.
6:00
That way you can pull down the sides as
6:02
needed.
6:05
You want this nice and smooth that
6:07
texture
6:09
like a cheesecake.
6:11
I'm going to go up one on the speed
6:15
so we can start whipping some air into
6:17
it.
6:20
We don't want it too runny
6:23
and you don't want it too thick. That's
6:25
looking good right there.
6:28
Let's see. Yep. Oh yeah.
6:31
Take a piping bag or you can take a
6:33
Ziploc bag
6:36
and I'm going to place it into a large
6:38
cup here.
6:40
And then we will take our spatula and
6:43
we'll get that mixture and we'll put it
6:46
in.
6:48
Now you can do this or you can just
6:50
spoon it into your dessert cups, but I'm
6:55
going to pipe it in because it'll give
6:57
it a better look.
6:59
to our layers that we're going to have.
7:02
And then we'll just pull the edges up.
7:05
There we go. Squeeze it all down to the
7:07
bottom.
7:09
And then we'll have this one ready to
7:11
go. Now we have all three layers. So,
7:13
let's layer it up. All right. I'm going
7:15
to be using these for the dessert
7:16
glasses. Take some of the crumb mixture.
7:20
We'll put it on the bottom.
7:24
Then we're going to add in some
7:25
strawberries.
7:27
We're going to take the cream cheese
7:28
mixture.
7:31
Put that on.
7:35
More cookies.
7:39
That's what Thomas says. Please.
7:44
More strawberries.
7:46
More cheesecake mixture.
7:52
Put some crumb on top. One more spoon.
7:59
We're going to grab a fresh strawberry.
8:02
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo. Look at that one,
8:04
you guys.
8:07
We'll put that right in. Now, what do
8:10
y'all think of my strawberry cheesecake
8:13
parfait? Isn't it elegant looking
8:16
without all the work? No bake dessert.
8:20
Let's give it a try.
8:24
every layer in that bite right there.
8:28
Got the graham cracker crust, that cream
8:30
cheese mixture to make that cheesecake
8:33
that we all love, and those strawberries
8:36
that we merated.
8:47
All right. What do y'all think? Mhm.
8:50
Wow. It's cool. It's refreshing. It's no
8:52
bake. Actually, you should be setting
8:55
these in your refrigerator for at least
8:56
30 minutes to set up. But who's waiting?
9:01
Not us. And not Thomas. Here he goes.
9:04
>> Yeah, it's about time.
9:06
>> He might take them both.
9:07
>> Okay, if you insist.
9:10
>> All right, you guys. This recipe will
9:12
make four of them if you're using these
9:14
small goblet-like size dessert bowls.

9:39
strawberry on there. There we go.
