Equipment

Ingredients

Peach Layer

5 peaches diced, skin on
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ginger
3 tablespoons butter

Graham Cracker Layer

13 whole graham crackers
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter melted

Cream Cheese Layer

1 cup heavy cream
12 ounces cream cheese room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

To make the peach layer, cut the peaches into small, bite-sized pieces. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add in the peaches and brown sugar, then sprinkle on the cinnamon and ginger. Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes or until the peaches are soft. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Allow to cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, pulse the graham cracker sheets into crumbs. Add in brown sugar and melted butter. Pulse to combine. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
To make the cream cheese layer, add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl and mix on medium speed for one minute. Add in the heavy cream and powdered sugar. Continue to mix for another minute.
Once the peaches have cooled, assemble the parfaits. Place a layer of graham cracker crumbs on the bottom of each parfait glass, then place the cream cheese mixture on top of the graham cracker crumb base. Finally, add a layer of peaches. Repeat the layers.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with a bit of mint, basil or extra graham cracker crumbs.

How to Store: You can store your peaches and cream parfait for up to three days in the refrigerator. Just be sure to securely cover with plastic wrap.

The graham cracker layer may get a little soggy, so you could make the layers parts ahead of time, then refrigerate until ready to assemble the parfaits in the parfait glasses.

If serving a larger crowd, serve these in mini jars to double the serving size. Or, you can double the recipe and still use the wine tumblers.
