6 Ingredient Strawberry Parfait
My no bake strawberry parfait is layered with store-bought pound cake, fresh strawberries, and a cream cheese filling that tastes like cheesecake without any of the work. It’s made with just 6 ingredients and never sees the oven!
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 456kcal
Equipment
- Hand or stand mixer
Ingredients
- 14 ounce pound cake cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 pounds strawberries quartered
- 1/2 cup sugar divided
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice divided (or one lemon)
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
Instructions
- Place the quartered strawberries in a medium bowl, sprinkle 4 tablespoons of sugar over them, and 1/2 the lemon juice. Stir to coat evenly.
- Place the strawberries in the refrigerator while you prepare the cream cheese filling to help let the strawberries macerate.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Cool Whip, 4 tablespoons of sugar, cream cheese and the other ½ of lemon juice with a mixer until it's smooth.
- Build the parfait. This can be done in individual cups or one big trifle bowl.
- Start with the cubed pound cake, then the cheesecake layer, then strawberries, and continue to layer until it is full.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve!
Notes
My top tip: Let the strawberries sit in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. I usually use the time to put the cheesecake filling and cube the pound cake.
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge, covered for up to 3 days.
Make ahead: Either make all parts of the parfait and assemble them when you're ready to eat, or assemble the parfaits, cover, and let them sit in the fridge for up to 3 days.
