Cómo preparar Low Fat Cherry Cheese Parfaits
- Drain 1 (15 ounce) can of pitted cherries, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and the reserved cherry juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens significantly (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and gently stir in the drained cherries.
- Add 3 packets (or equivalent to 1.5 oz) of your preferred sweetener and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Set aside to cool.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes. Then, gently heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until completely dissolved.
- In a food processor, combine 16 ounces of low-fat cottage cheese and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Process until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add the dissolved gelatin and 6 packets (or equivalent to 3 oz) of sweetener to the cottage cheese mixture. Process until well combined.
- Layer the gelatin mixture and the cherry mixture in 8 parfait glasses, alternating layers. Start and end with the cheese mixture.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the parfait to set completely.
- Each serving is approximately 1 fruit exchange and 1/2 serving of protein.
