I’ll take any excuse to make something delicious and hot pink with rhubarb, especially if that excuse is the celebration of a brand new baby girl who the always awesome Stephanie–aka Girl versus Dough–will be welcoming in just a few short weeks. A whole bunch of bloggers are celebrating Stephanie with a bit of a virtual baby shower–be warned, there are LOTS of delicious links below. If you follow Stephanie’s blog (which you should), then you know she posts beautiful and delicious recipes regularly on her blog–even in the midst of her pregnancy! She’s a champ, really. Plus, if you follow her on Instagram you may have even seen a peak of her adorable bump. I mean, it’s the kind of cute-bump to envy.
So, in celebration of Stephanie and her sweet girl, I made these little parfait cups. This completely no-bake treat combines my favorite springtime fruity-vegetable with a sweet + tangy cream cheese filling and crunchy graham crust layered all pretty-like for a sweet, tart, creamy, crunchy dream of a dessert.
All of that said, Stephanie, we cannot wait for your little one to arrive! She is going to be one lucky little lass with such a beautiful, talented mother to make her treats and love her to pieces! Hurray!!

No-Bake Rhubarb Cheesecake Parfaits
Adapted from How Sweet It Is
4-6 servings
This recipe makes extra rhubarb sauce, which is perfect for spooning over plain yogurt or vanilla ice cream.
Rhubarb Sauce:
4 cups chopped rhubarb
2/3 cup raspberries (optional)
2/3-1 cup sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon
Parfaits:
6 graham crackers, ground into crumbs
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
rhubarb sauce
whipped cream for garnish
In a saucepan combine the rhubarb, raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the fruit releases it’s juices. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the stove, cool, and store in a jar in the fridge until ready to use.
In a bowl mix together the graham crumbs and coconut oil until well combined. In another bowl, mix together the cream cheese, yogurt, and sweetened condensed milk. Layer graham cracker crust into the bottom of 4-6 glasses or jars, followed by the cream cheese mixture, and finally as much rhubarb sauce as you like. Top with whipped cream before serving.

Hey I just clicked over from Blahnik Baker, and I had to tell you how mouthwatering these treats are! The colors! Rhubarb is one of my favorite things EVER, can’t wait for it to start showing up here on the east coast 😉
I LOVE rhubarb. I made a rhubarb parfait at the weekend too and yours sort of puts mine to shame! It looks absolutely delicious 🙂
I just started growing my own rhubarb this year. I can’t harvest it for another year, but I obviously won’t wait until then to make these awesomely delicious cheesecake parfaits. Total beautiful deliciousness right here!
These are stunning and awesome! What a perfect way to showcase rhubarb. Yum!!
I am so smitten with these sweet and sour treats! Just gorgeous.
