Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups raspberries fresh
  • ½ cup brown sugar lightly packed
  • 3 teaspoons lemon juice divided
  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1½ teaspoons white granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 6 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Combine half the raspberries and brown sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add a tablespoon of water to help get the sugar melting.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until thickened. Set aside to cool.
  • Mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Set aside.
  • Beat the cream until soft peaks form in a large bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or with an electric mixer.
  • Whip the cream cheese until fluffy, then beat in the vanilla and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Add the remaining raspberries to the cooled raspberry sauce, along with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, and mix.
  • Assemble your individual raspberry cheesecake parfaits by adding about 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker crumb mixture to the bottom of a dessert cup, pressing it in lightly.
  • Top with about 1/4 cup of the cheesecake filling, then a few tablespoons of the raspberry sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh mint, and a few raspberries.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Fresh raspberries are best in this recipe, but you could use blueberries instead.
  • Make these ahead of time and let them sit up in the fridge for 2-3 hours in advance. Cover the tops with plastic wrap to keep the sauce from drying out.
  • Garnish the tops with a spring of mint, 2-3 fesh raspberries, and even some toasted slivered almonds.
