Cheesecake Parfaits Dairy-Free

I recently got pumped up to make a dairy-free cheesecake,

but then it dawned on me that I've never even made a dairy cheesecake.

Maybe I would be better off baby-stepping into this serious endeavor.

Oh, and I don't even own a spring form pan so uh...

how about parfaits?

That might work!

Easy peasy for mom.

Yet fun layers in see-through glasses that will surely impress the fam. 

This I could do.

These actually turned out delicious, required no baking, and were certainly loved by the whole family.

We will be making these again!

And I may never even try to make a dairy-free cheesecake.

Why bother.
