Blue Vanilla cheesecake parfaits
- 6-8 shooter glasses
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese (room temp)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Blue or violet food coloring
- Fresh blueberries
- Whipped cream topping (store bought or homemade)
In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, graham cracker crumbs and sugar until combined. Distribute evenly between individual serving glasses. Press down on crumbs to form a crust.
For the filling, beat cream cheese, sugar and heavy cream in a large bowl until smooth (using an electric mixer). Using a rubber spatula, scrape down sides of the bowl. Add lemon zest, vanilla and 1-2 drops of food coloring. Continue to beat until light and creamy. Evenly spoon (or pipe using a piping bag) about ¼ to ½ cup of filling into each serving cup. Cover and place in the fridge for at least one hour. Top with fresh blueberries and whipped cream topping before serving.
