Cherry Cheesecake Parfait

Ingredients

4 cups frozen unsweetened cherries
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces light cream cheese
1 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
10 chocolate wafer cookies, finely crumbled

Directions

1. Combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until thickened. Cool.
2. Meanwhile, use an electric mixer or food processor to combine the vanilla, cream cheese and sour cream. With the machine running, slowly mix in the confectioners’ sugar.
3. To assemble: fill each of four large wine goblets or parfait glasses with the layers, starting with a spoonful of the cheese mixture, then crumbs, followed by a layer of the cherries. Continue the pattern, using the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or make up to a day in advance
