Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened, about 2 packages)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
Cookie Layers & Garnish
- 24 Oreo cookies (crushed for layering)
- 12 Oreo cookies (whole, for garnish)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Crush 24 Oreo cookies using a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and roll with a pin until finely crushed. Set aside for layering.
- Beat the cream cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add sugar and vanilla: Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, continuing to beat until well combined and smooth.
- Whip the heavy cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with a mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, usually about 3-4 minutes.
- Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Layer the parfaits: In serving glasses or cups, start with a layer of crushed Oreo cookies, followed by a layer of cheesecake filling. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled to the top.
- Garnish: Top each parfait with some crushed Oreo cookies and a whole Oreo cookie for an attractive finish.
- Chill: Place the assembled parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow them to chill and set before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing.
- Whip the heavy cream fresh for best texture.
- Parfaits can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For a lighter version, consider using reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped cream.
- Ensure Oreo cookies are fully crushed to avoid large chunks in the layers.
