Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened full-fat for best texture
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar adds sweetness to the filling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor
  • 2 cups heavy cream chilled for whipping
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies for layers and garnish
  • 1/2 cup colored candy toppings or sprinkles for festive decoration

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving glasses or jars
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in thirds, using a spatula, until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Spoon a layer of the cheesecake filling into each serving glass, about one-third of the total volume.
  5. Sprinkle crushed cookies evenly over the first layer for added crunch.
  6. Repeat with another layer of the cheesecake filling, followed by more crushed cookies.
  7. Finish with a final layer of cheesecake filling on top, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  8. Decorate the parfaits with colorful candies or sprinkles for a festive Halloween touch.
  9. Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set before serving.
