Ingredients in these healthy blueberry cheesecake parfaits

Here’s the main ingredients you’ll need to make this treat:

• low-fat cream cheese, the base of the cheesecake layer and the star of any cheesecake. I use the low-fat kind to keep this dessert on the lighter side. But rest assured, it’s still decadent and creamy like any good cheesecake should be!
• lemon zest and juice, adds brightness and tang to both the cheesecake and blueberry layers.
• Whole Earth Sweetener Co Granulated Allulose Baking Blend (with other sweetener), the main plant-based, zero calorie sweetener in this dessert that keeps this dessert low-sugar but still so delicious and perfectly sweet!
• Greek yogurt, helps lighten up the cheesecake layer by adding healthy fats and extra creaminess. But don’t worry, you can’t taste it at all! I strain mine through a mesh sieve before adding to ensure the cheesecake layer does not become runny.
• light whipped cream, helps cut through the richness of the cheesecake layer while also making it airy and fluffy.
• vanilla, for the pure delicious sweetness that helps wake up the other flavors.
• blueberries, the base of the jam layer. It’s bright and fresh so helps balance the richness of the cheesecake layer. I love blueberries, but other berries would totally work too!
• graham crackers, for that necessary crunch and buttery, honey-molasses like sweetness that pairs perfectly with cheesecake!
• coconut oil, to help make a crumbly graham cracker layer. I use coconut oil because it’s known as a superfood and contains many health and nutrient benefits. You can use a refined coconut oil if you do not like the flavor of coconut. Of course, butter works here too!

How to make these parfaits

• Make blueberry jam layer, first, you will want to make the blueberry jam layer. It does need to cool and set so do this at least 3 hours before or even the day before! In a saucepan, add the blueberries, Whole Earth Sweetener Co Granulated Allulose Baking Blend, lemon zest and juice, salt and vanilla and heat over medium heat. Cook until berries come to a rolling boil and start to release their juices and break down. Mix together cold water and cornstarch. Add to blueberries, stirring well, and cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.  Allow to cool completely.
• Make cheesecake layer, once the jam is cooled, you will make the cheesecake layer. Simply, add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix with a hand mixer until well-combined and fluffy.
• Make graham cracker crust layer, finally, you’ll make the graham cracker crust layer. In a medium bowl, add the graham cracker crumbs, Whole Earth Sweetener’s granulated allulose baking blend, melted coconut oil, and pinch salt and mix until well combined.
• Build parfaits, in small jars, add graham cracker crust to bottom, top with cheesecake, and finish with blueberry jam. Pro tip: add the cheesecake mousse to a piping bag so you can easily and cleanly pipe it into the jars.
• Enjoy, serve immediately or store in fridge for up to 3 days. Yum!

How are they lightened up?!

• I used Whole Earth Sweetener Co Granulated Allulose Baking Blend (with other sweeteners), my fav plant-based, zero calorie sweetener. It tastes, browns, and bakes like regular sugar and tastes great! It gives these healthy blueberry cheesecake parfaits the perfect sweetness without adding calories!
• the base of the cheese cake uses light cream cheese, light whipped cream, and greek yogurt, the light cream cheese and whipped cream keeps the parfaits light but still so creamy and tasty, and the greek yogurt adds in healthy fats and protein.
• Fresh blueberry jam, making your own jam allows you to use simpe ingredients and control the sugar.
• coconut oil in the crust, for it’s great healthy benefits and added extra healthy fats!

Enjoy!
