Blueberry Cheese Parfait-Diabetic
Serves 4
List of Ingredients
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- Splenda to taste
- 6 oz. (3/4 of a large pkg.) cream cheese
- 6 oz. (3/4 cup) heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Wash blueberries and remove any remaining stems. Place in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in Splenda.
- Microwave on high for about two to three minutes, until about half of the berries have popped and there's a nice, gooey liquid in the bottom of the bowl.
- Stir, popping most of the rest of the berries with a spoon against the side of the dish. Refrigerate until chilled.
- Meanwhile cut cream cheese into small pieces and let stand at room temperature to soften.
- Remove about a quarter cup of the berries to a separate container to use as a garnish; combine the rest of the cooled berries and the cream cheese, and whip until well-mixed and fluffy.
- Whip the cream until stiff.
- Layer the blueberry mixture alternately with the whipped cream in four parfait glasses, making the top layer cream.
- Top each glass with 1/4 of the reserved berries. If desired, garnish with a fresh mint leaf.
