Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Parfait cups or glasses
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs about 14 whole crackers
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and diced
  • 3 ripe kiwis peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 3 tablespoons cold water

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in small bowl. Let bloom 5 minutes until spongy. Microwave 15-20 seconds until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in medium bowl. Mix until resembles wet sand. Divide evenly among 8-10 parfait cups, pressing firmly to compact.
  • Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until completely smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape down sides frequently.
  • In separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into cream cheese mixture in three additions.
  • Stream in dissolved gelatin while folding to ensure even distribution throughout the filling.
  • Toss diced strawberries and kiwi with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let macerate 10 minutes. Reserve half for garnish.
  • Fold remaining fruit into cheesecake mixture. Spoon or pipe filling over crumb base in each cup, filling three-quarters full.
  • Top with reserved fresh fruit. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably 4, until completely set before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in filling
  • Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better volume
  • Don't skip macerating fruit step to prevent watery layers
  • Make up to 24 hours ahead for best flavor and easier party prep
  • Keep portions consistent using ice cream scoop for filling
