Categories     Bon Appétit     Dessert     Cherry     Almond     Yogurt     Sour Cream     Liqueur     Summer

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the homemade maraschino cherries:
3 pounds fresh cherries, pits removed
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup Luxardo maraschino liqueur or kirsch (clear cherry brandy)
1 teaspoon almond extract
For the parfaits:
2 1/2 cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
8 vanilla meringue cookies, broken into pieces
1 pound fresh cherries, pits removed
Special Equipment
A heatproof 1-quart jar

Steps:

  • Make the Maraschino cherries:
  • Set a mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Bring cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and 2/3 cup water to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally; cook until cherries have released their juices and are softened but still intact, 20-25 minutes. Pour cherries into prepared sieve, letting juices collect in bowl. Set cherries aside.
  • Return juices to same saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until liquid is reduced to 1 1/2 cups (it will be a thin syrup at this point), 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat, add reserved cherries, and stir in liqueur and almond extract. Transfer maraschino cherries to jar, cover, and chill at least 24 hours before using.
  • To assemble:
  • Whisk yogurt, sour cream, powdered sugar, and salt in a large bowl until smooth; fold in meringue cookies.
  • Layer maraschino cherries, fresh cherries, and yogurt mixture into 8 glasses, dividing evenly.
  • Do Ahead
  • Maraschino cherries can be made 2 weeks ahead. Keep chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, sweet cherries for the sauce: This will ensure that the sauce has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • If you don't have vanilla extract, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla powder.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to create a smooth, creamy filling.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can simmer it for a longer period of time. Just be sure to keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn.
  • These parfaits can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to cover them tightly so that they don't dry out.

Conclusion:

Chocolate and vanilla parfaits with cherry sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
