    This past week, I've been feeling really lazy, in the kitchen that is. I have been ordering takeout and cooking easy and super quick meals to avoid being in the kitchen very long.

    On lazy days like these, it's when I like to come up with great quick and simple dishes that I can just put together fast and eat on the spot.

    This simple Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait is just proof of that. But that's not all, it is also the perfect make ahead Valentine's Day dessert to share with your loved ones.

    Ingredients

    • Fresh Strawberries
    • Cream Cheese
    • Chocolate Hazelnut Spread such as Nutella
    • Whipped Cream
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Cookie Crust
    mixing the chocolate, cream cheese and whipped cream for the parfait

    How to make strawberry cheesecake parfait

    • Cut strawberries into small cubes and set them aside.
    • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together cream cheese, chocolate spread, whipped cream, and vanilla until creamy and well combined.
    • In 4-6 small or medium glasses, layer cookie crust, chocolate cheesecake mixture, and strawberries starting with the cookie crust. Repeat and top with extra whipped cream, strawberries, and sprinkle with the cookie crust.
    • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How far ahead of time can you make them?

    You can make these chocolate and strawberry cheesecake parfaits up to a day ahead of time. Leave off the toppings, and cover the glasses with some plastic wrap to keep them fresh. When you are ready to serve, just add the toppings and take them to the table. Easy!

    Can you make these with other fruits?

    Yes, of course! I went for strawberries to make them a great Valentine's worthy dessert, but you can use whatever you have. Sliced bananas, blueberries and raspberries all work great.

    Can you use frozen fruits?

    I prefer to use fresh fruits for this dessert, but you can use frozen if that's what you have. Thaw the frozen fruit completely and pat lightly with kitchen paper before slicing and using.

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    • Soften the cream cheese before using. I like to take mine out of the fridge about 30 minutes before I'm ready to use it. When softened, it will incorporate more easily with the other ingredients.
    • I prefer to use full fat cream cheese for a richer and creamier texture, but you can use low fat if you prefer.

    Make your Valentine's Day special dinner a breeze by making this delicious chocolate and strawberry cheesecake parfait the morning of or even the day before, so that you can enjoy more quality time with your special someone. I'm sure we can all appreciate the little extra time. 😉

    Unless, you plan to eat out, which is awesome too. In that case, just make this dessert any other day. I'm sure it will still taste just as good!
