Baked Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups non-fat or 2% plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (or arrowroot)
Strawberry Topping
- 4 cups strawberries, sliced
- splash of water
- Honey to taste (1/2 teaspoon) –only if strawberries are not as sweet!
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and fit 4 mini 1-cup jars into a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with water so the water comes up the sides of the jars about 1″. Set aside.
- In a mini food processor, combine the yogurt, sugar, egg, vanilla, and cornstarch. Pulse until well blended.
- Divide the mixture between the jars and bake for 25-30 minutes – the tops will appear set and may even start to turn very light brown.
- Cover the jars and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the strawberry topping in a small saucepan: combine the sliced strawberries with a splash of water. Cook over medium heat until they collapse and the sauce starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in honey to taste (if using sweet spring/summer strawberries no honey is needed).
- Let the strawberry sauce cool, then divide it evenly on top of the cheesecake jars.
- Garnish with extra yogurt and more fresh strawberries.
