Awesome! Made these for our Memorial Day cook-out. I used strawberry cream cheese, let the strawberries sit in the fridge for two hours and Added sugar to the sauce so it was sinfully sweet but other than that, kept it as written. Awesome summer desert. -
This was great Boomette, we loved it. I did switch the sugar to Splenda and reduced it as I don't like things to be too sweet. I used crushed graham crackers too but granola would be yummy also! Thanks for the simple recipe, I will make this again! -
Mmmmmm, this is scrumptious. Smooth, creamy and the strawberries are at their peak now. I used all Splenda and non fat yogurt. it's simple to make and looks lovely as well as tasting wonderful. -
This cream cheese sauce is heavenly with fresh berries. I used mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries) and served over angel food cake slices. I brought this to a dinner party, and everyone enjoyed it. So refreshing on a warm summer evening. -
Yumm Boomette! This is fantastic. I made it just as posted with the exception of using low fat granola instead of the cookies. I also used a non-fat vanilla yogurt. To further reduce calories, we used Splenda instead of sugar. It is a hit and the family is already asking for me to make more! Thanks for posting!!

I just found a great and easy breakfast recipe. I loved this parfait. I used granola in place of the almond cookie. This was so easy and fast to put together. Thanks for another wonderful recipe, Boomette. Made for August, 2008 Bevy Tag.
