T Peach Parfait
Light, fluffy, and delicious! Peaches layered with creamy yogurt and cream cheese are
perfect with any meal. Store fresh peaches at room temperature, because storing them
in the refrigerator decreases the flavor of the fruit. If fresh peaches aren’t available, you
can substitute canned peach slices packed in juice or unsweetened frozen peaches.
