18 graham crackers
Add a layer of graham cracker crumbs to your parfait glass.
Top the graham crackers with a layer of the lemon cheesecake mixture.

Notes

To make these look extra special, serve them in a wine glass or a wide champagne flute. Small mason jars would work well too. Then you can garnish them with some fresh mint leaves and some candy lemon slices.

Make these parfaits in shot glasses for cute mini-desserts.

To get that perfect layered look without getting cheesecake mixture on the edge of the glass, use a plastic bag or piping bag instead of spooning it in.
