- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- When folding whipped cream, use a gentle hand to maintain the light, airy texture.
- For a more professional look, use a piping bag to create clean, even layers.
- Chill your glasses before assembling to help the parfaits set faster and look more appealing.
- For an extra touch of elegance, consider garnishing with fresh blueberries or a mint leaf.
- Make these parfaits ahead of time - they're perfect for preparing in advance and will actually taste even better after the flavors meld in the refrigerator.
- Use clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers and make your dessert a visual masterpiece.
- If you want a less sweet version, reduce the sugar slightly or use a sugar substitute.
