INGREDIENTS
3 pints fresh raspberries, divided
1⁄2 cup sugar, divided
1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish: fresh raspberries
DIRECTIONS
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 pints raspberries and 1⁄4 cup sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes or until raspberries have softened. Press mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, discarding solids. Cover raspberry sauce, and chill thoroughly.
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining 1⁄4 cup sugar at medium speed with a mixer until creamy. Add cream, and beat until soft peaks form. Fold in sour cream and vanilla.
Layer cream mixture, raspberry sauce, and remaining 1 pint fresh raspberries in 4 parfait glasses, as desired. Garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired.
