Yogurt Cream Cherry Parfaits

Many people are not in the mood for difficult desserts during January so I decided to make simple Yogurt Cream Cherry Parfaits. They are made with two layers, the cherry layer is actually just frozen cherries (you can use the fresh ones if you want to, but add more water) with water and cornstarch. The second layer is made with whipped cream, plain yogurt and sugar. This layer is light and creamy, it can be combined with any fruit and I think it is perfect when seeking light food after Christmas. The cherry layer is a fresh fruit compliment to the creamy filling, it has slightly preserve-y consistency so if you prefer thick fillings, use more cornstarch. These parfait cups are quick and simple to make and so refreshing – just the way January desserts should be.
