Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cup cream cheese 300 g, 10.5 oz, Note 1
  • 1 ¼ cup yogurt Greek style, 300 g/ 10.5 oz
  • 1 cup heavy cream 230 ml
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • some vanilla extract to taste
  • 1 lb strawberries 450 g
  • 20 meringues 60 g/ 2 oz

Instructions

  • Whip the heavy cream until stiff. Set aside.
  • Combine: Mix cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth in a large bowl. Fold in the heavy cream.
  • Chop the strawberries.
  • Assemble the dessert: Place some cream cheese mixture at the bottom of 6 dessert cups or jars. Add some meringues, crushing them with your fingers on top of the cream. Add some chopped strawberries. Repeat these layers one more time, finishing with strawberries.
  • Refrigerate: Place the cups in the fridge and let them stand for a few hours before serving. The meringues will mostly disintegrate, making the dessert creamy and sweet.

Full fat or low-fat, it is up to you. I used low-fat when I made these pictures, but I used full-fat some other times. Both versions are delicious. The nutrition information is calculated with low-fat cream cheese and low-fat creamy yogurt.
