Easy to make
These Parfaits are fun to make and they start out on the grill.
Simply brush the fresh pineapple with Lime Syrup, and place on the hot grill. Flip the pineapple so that all sides are nice and caramelized.
Make the lime cheesecake filling by mixing all ingredients together with a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Then, simply layer graham cracker crumbs, lime cheesecake filling, and chopped grilled pineapple into the pretty glasses for presentation. Garnish with lime zest if desired.
Presentation tip
To make it easier and prettier to fill the glasses, place the cheesecake filling in a large zip top bag. Cut the tip off of the bottom corner of the bag, and squeeze the filling into the glasses.
You can also use a pastry bag and tips if you want.
This makes it easier to avoid getting filling on the sides of the glasses.
