Ingredients
Crust Ingredients:
¼ c. raw almonds
¼ c. raw pecans
3 pitted dates, roughly chopped
¼ t. ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish

4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1 c. full-fat Greek yogurt

1 t. real vanilla extract
1 c. strawberries, chopped
1 c. raspberries
½ c. blueberries
Instructions
In the bowl of a food processor, combine almonds, pecans, dates, and

broken down. Divide the nut crust between 4 individual serving dishes or jars
and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and
vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Set aside.
Tip: If cream cheese isn’t fully softened, beat it first before adding the other
ingredients.
3. Divide half of the cheesecake mixture between the 4 serving dishes or jars
and divide half of the berries among the individual dishes. Repeat this process
with remaining cheesecake mixture and fresh berries.
4. Place the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill. To serve,
garnish with ground cinnamon or an extra drizzle of honey, if desired. Enjoy!
