Ingredients:

  • 24 Oreo cookies (about 260g / 9 oz), divided
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream (for filling)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract (for topping)
  • Optional: 4 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crumbs: Pulse most of the Oreos in a food processor (or crush in a zip-top bag) until fine crumbs form. Mix with melted butter.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Whip the Cream (for filling): In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Whip the Topping: In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  5. Assemble the Parfaits: Layer Oreo crumbs, cheesecake filling, and whipped cream in serving glasses. Repeat layers.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  7. Garnish: Top with chopped Oreos (optional) to complete these Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Parfaits.
