Mocha Cheesecake Parfaits
 
 

If you ask my family they’ll say I’m a coffee addict! I literally drink coffee from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed…and no, the caffeine doesn’t keep me up!   There’s just something about coffee that I love so much. I love having it piping hot in the morning, then I switch to iced coffee in the afternoon and then back to a hot cup or two before I go to bed.  I make my own iced coffee so I can control the calories and sugar…then I saw that International Delight made an Iced Coffee Light with 1/3 fewer calories.  I couldn’t wait to try it!  Let me tell you, this is divine; it’s rich, creamy and not too sweet.  Now all I have to do is go to the fridge, pour a cup and enjoy!
