INGREDIENT NOTES

COCOA POWDER

  • Always choose unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor without sugar. For a deep chocolaty taste, go for dark cocoa powder.

SWEETENER

  • Use the powdered keto sweetener to sweeten the dessert without increasing the calories. You may use stevia, Monk Fruit, Erythritol, etc. Any one of them will sweeten your parfait while keeping the WW points low.

CREAM CHEESE

  • You will need the softened, reduced-fat cream cheese to include the authentic cheesecake flavor while keeping the points low. You may use fat-free cream cheese for even fewer points or Neufchatel cheese as a replacement.

FRESH BERRIES

  • Garnishing the parfait glasses using fresh strawberries, cherries, raspberries, blue or black berries will boost the nutrients and some natural sweetness without increasing a single point. All berries are zero-point fruit.

WHIPPED TOPPING

  • Choose the fat-free version of whipped topping to achieve a fluffy mousse-like texture. You may use sugar-free whipped cream or homemade whipped aquafaba as an alternative.

GREEK YOGURT

  • The addition of a fat-free version of Greek yogurt boosts protein content and creaminess without contributing points.

GRAHAM CRACKERS

  • Choose the lower-fat chocolate graham crackers to have the delicious, crunchy crust without the spike in calories. You may replace them with sugar-free wafer cookies, light digestive biscuits, or a WW-approved snack cracker.

TIPS

  • You can layer up the parfait in individual Mason jars.
  • It gives you the advantage of early preparation. You only need to serve at the time of serving.
  • Keep your hands gentle while folding the fluffy mixture into the whipped cream topping. Otherwise, you will lose the airy texture.
  • Replace the fat-free cream cheese with reduced-fat for even fewer points.
  • You may add the crushed nuts or cocoa nibs for extra crunch.

STORING DIRECTIONS FOR LEFTOVERS

CHILLING

  • Cover the glasses properly and refrigerate them for around three days.

FREEZING

  • We will never advise you to freeze it, as a yogurt and cream cheese mixture will ruin the texture upon defrosting.
