Instructions

Place two cups of strawberries into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the strawberry liquid through a sieve to remove any seeds. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl with the whisk attachment, add the heavy whipping cream along with the powdered sugar. Mix until stiff peaks form.
Reserve about ½ cup of the whipped cream mixture. The rest can be stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
In the same mixing bowl with the ½ cup of whipped cream, add the cream cheese. Mix on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. Add the granulated sugar, and the strawberry puree. Mix for another 2 minutes or until blended.
Break up the angel food cake into pieces and slice the remaining 1 cup of strawberries. You want the strawberries to be pretty thin as they're going to "cling" to the sides of the glasses.
Place a layer of angel food cake on the bottom of each glass.
Add the thinly sliced strawberries gently so they're appearing to cling to the inside of the glasses to create a decorative look.
Spoon a little of the strawberry cream cheese mixture in the middle. Then add another layer of whipped cream followed by the blueberries.
Repeat the layers again until the glasses are filled. Top each glass with extra whipped cream.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

If you need to assemble the parfaits a few hours ahead of time, you can layer the ingredients in individual glasses or jars. Cover them tightly with plastic wrap or lids and store them in the refrigerator. The whipped cream might soften slightly, but it should still hold its shape.
