Preparation

Step 1

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine raisins, orange juice, sugar, and vanilla. Cover and microwave at high power for 45 seconds; let stand 1 minute, until raisins plump up. Stir until sugar is dissolved.

In a medium bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth. Stir in raisin mixture until well combined.

In 4 dessert dishes or parfait glasses, layer cream cheese mixture, fruit, and granola. Repeat layers then serve, or cover loosely and chill until ready to serve.

Notes:
Use your favorite fresh, frozen or canned fruit - like peaches, strawberries, blueberries or raspberries - and garnish with additional fruit, if desired.
