These are super easy to make and if you serve them in pretty wine glasses like I did, they are elegant enough for any special occasion. Plus since they are no-bake, you can make them ahead of time and stick them in the fridge when you’re ready for dessert.

These are nice and light so they would also be perfect to enjoy during the the spring and summer too! The hardest part is assembling the layers but I totally thought that was the fun part!

First layer ——> Crushed shortbread cookies or you can use crushed graham crackers, Oreos or any other sandwich cookies if that’s what you have on hand.

Second layer —>  A lightened up cheesecake mixture made with non-fat Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, vanilla and confectioners’ sugar. If you don’t have non-fat Greek yogurt, just sub in whatever yogurt you have or you can even use whipped cream or a frozen whipped topping.

Third layer —–> A mixture of sliced strawberries and sugar. Feel free to swap in your favorite fruit. Just keep repeating the layers to fill up your glasses. You can even assemble them in mason jars or mini cups if you’d like. They make a fun and delicious dessert that everyone will love no matter which way you serve them!

Ingredients

  • 8-9 shortbread cookies or graham crackers, crushed (about 1 1/3 cups)

  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons of granulated sugar

Slowly add the powdered sugar until everything is well combined.
