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
- 4 Oreos
- Candy eyeballs
- Red food color marker
Instructions
- Make the cheesecake batter: Beat cream cheese using a stand mixer with paddle attachment or a hand mixer until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract and continue beating until well combined. Divide mixture into two bowls. Add Fanta orange soda to one bowl and mix well, adding orange food color if desired. Whip heavy cream in a chilled bowl using a whisk attachment or hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Divide whipped cream equally between the two bowls and fold gently into the cream cheese mixtures. Refrigerate the batter bowls.
- Prepare the Oreo crust: Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Combine crumbs with melted butter. Divide half of the mixture equally between two serving glasses, pressing gently to form a crust layer. Reserve remaining crumbs for topping. Place glasses in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
- Create the spooky Oreo eyes: Carefully separate Oreo cookies. On the cream side, attach candy eyeballs using a small amount of caramel sauce as adhesive. Use a red food color marker to draw veins around the eyeball for a spooky effect. Prepare 3-4 eyes and set aside.
- Assemble the parfait: Transfer the orange and white cheesecake mixtures into separate piping bags. Remove glasses from freezer. Pipe an orange cheesecake layer over the Oreo crust, then pipe the white cheesecake layer on top. Sprinkle some reserved Oreo crumbs over the white layer. Repeat the layering process, finishing with a white cheesecake layer on top.
- Garnish and chill: Top the parfaits with additional crushed Oreo crumbs and the spooky Oreo eyes. Refrigerate the parfaits for 3-4 hours before serving to allow the cheesecake to set properly.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
- Chill the bowl and whisk attachment before whipping heavy cream to achieve better volume.
- Clear vanilla extract helps keep the cheesecake batter white instead of yellowish.
- The orange food coloring is optional and used only to enhance the orange color of the Fanta-infused batter.
- Use piping bags for neat and clean layering of the cheesecake batter.
- Freezing the glasses briefly helps set the base layer firmly before adding more layers.
- Use store-bought caramel sauce or any sticky edible glue to attach candy eyes securely.
- The parfaits can be assembled a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for convenience.
