Cheese Delight (serves 4)
A delicious, simple cream cheese recipe for dessert which is one of my family’s favourites. It also makes a very simple light dinner party dessert. It is the taste and texture of cheese cake without the added calories.
It came from one of Australia’s women’s magazines from many, many years ago.
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
drained tin peaches (or fresh strawberries, kiwi fruit or any fruit that appeals to you)
Wine or parfait glasses for serving
Soften cream cheese at room temperature.
Drain the peaches.
Beat cream cheese till soft then add sugar till all mixed.
Add milk gradually & mix. (May need less milk as it won’t work if it’s too runny.)
Slice the peaches into thin slices.
Alternate in your parfait, wine or champagne glasses layers of the cheese mixture, then a few slices of fruit, then repeat again.
Finish with pieces of fruit on top.
Put in the fridge till ready to serve (at least 2 hours or more).
Best eaten with parfait spoon or spoons that will reach the bottom of the glass.
The quantities can be doubled or halved.
You can also experiment with different types of fruit - sliced mangoes, kiwi fruit or your favourite fruit. Fresh is nicer but tinned sliced fruit works just as well.
