Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Batter
- 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- ½ teaspoon clear vanilla extract
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2-3 tablespoons Fanta orange soda
- Drop of orange food color (optional)
Oreo Crust/Base
- ¾ cup Oreo crumbs (from about 10 Oreo sandwich cookies)
- 1.5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Spooky Eyes Decoration
- 4 Oreos
- Candy eyeballs
- Red food color marker
- Caramel sauce (to stick eyeballs)
Instructions
- Prepare Cheesecake Batter: Beat the cream cheese with a paddle attachment or hand mixer until smooth. Add granulated sugar and clear vanilla extract, then beat until well combined.
- Divide Mixture: Split the cream cheese mixture equally into two bowls. Add 2-3 tablespoons Fanta orange soda to one bowl and mix well; optionally add a drop of orange food coloring for a brighter hue.
- Whip Cream: Chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachment for 15-20 minutes. Beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then divide it equally between the two colored mixtures. Gently fold the whipped cream into each bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until needed.
- Create Oreo Crust: Crush Oreos to fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix in the melted butter until combined.
- Assemble Oreo Crust in Glasses: Spoon half of the Oreo crumb mixture evenly into two serving glasses (or four small ones). Press down gently to form a base. Freeze these glasses for 15-20 minutes to set the crust.
- Make Spooky Oreo Eyes: Twist apart Oreo cookies. On the cream side, attach candy eyeballs using a dab of caramel sauce. Draw red veins around the eyeball using a red food color marker. Prepare 3-4 eyes and set aside.
- Layer the Parfait: Transfer white and orange cheesecake mixtures into separate piping bags. Remove chilled glasses from the freezer. Pipe orange cheesecake batter over the Oreo crust, then pipe white cheesecake batter on top. Sprinkle remaining Oreo crumbs over the white layer. Repeat layering, finishing with a white cheesecake batter layer on top.
- Garnish and Chill: Garnish with crushed Oreos and the spooky eyes on top. Refrigerate parfaits for 3-4 hours before serving to allow them to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Chilling the mixing bowl and whisk before whipping cream helps achieve stiffer peaks.
- Using clear vanilla extract keeps the cheesecake batter white and bright when not colored.
- The Fanta orange soda adds a subtle citrus flavor and slight fizz, but can be substituted with orange juice if desired.
- For a more intense orange color, a drop of food coloring can be added but is optional.
- If candy eyeballs are unavailable, small white chocolate chips or edible googly eyes can be used as alternatives.
- The parfaits can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for convenience.
