Instructions

• Add the cottage cheese to a food processor using the 'S' blade or to a blender. Blend the cheese until extra creamy and smooth, stopping and scraping down the sides until all of the cottage cheese is fully blended.
• Add the strawberries to a small saucepan over medium heat. As they heat, gently break them up with a spatula. Then add the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Continue to simmer gently until the strawberries reach a jam-like consistency. Transfer to a jar and place in the refrigerator to cool completely.
• Add the whipped cottage cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and monk fruit sweetener to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
• To assemble, add a layer of crumbled cookie to the base of a glass or jar; then a layer of the cheesecake mixture; then a layer of strawberry jam. Repeat this process with the second parfait jar and store the parfaits in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
